Help ID this NISHIKI!
This bike is a little confusing to me. The frame says Nishiki, but the seat says Myata. The bike is obviously old, and I'm curious to know how much it's worth. ANY information will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Your bike is a Nishiki.
It is quite simple to move a saddle from one bike to another.
Get the serial number off from the bottom bracket and then post it and some crisp pics of the components and we can probably figure out what you have.

Mismatched tires (the back one flat) and this bike is not riding anywhere. Replace the rear tire, clean it up and make sure that everything works and it is a $100-150 bike or so depending on the market. Looks like it has alloy wheels and the frame is in good shape. But the presentation...

Years ago I answered an ad for a twin to that bike. I wish I could remember the model. I do remember picking it up, it was on the heavy side. The cranks are cottered, stem shifters and turkey wings, I'm not sure if those are chrome or alloy rims. The dual QRs is noteworthy. If I was selling it and was offered $100, I'd grab the money.
Keep in mind I'm biased because I really like Nishikis (currently have eight).

Looks a lot like the 1974 Nishiki Olympic I had. It had QR froint and rear, alloy hubs, but steel rims.
