Nishiki Prestige

I just picked up a Nishiki Prestige in seamless Tange 2, Sugino crank, DiaCompe G-brakes, Cyclone Mark II DR's, all in good condition. It is blue with yellow lettering, and I would guess that it's an 86/7. (I don't have a picture yet -it's dark out).

It has a markedly racy geometry, compared to my own Int'l, but it rides and shifts smoothly.

- Any thoughts on flip value when it's all cleaned up, with new tires & etc?

(I'm sure I did fairly well, but I don't know how well.)

Thanks!

$225, maybe $250. Sold a really pristine 1986 last year, blue with yellow lettering.

Thanks Thrifty Bill !
- a little less than I thought (but still a very good deal.

)

I was very impressed with the handling, just based on the short test ride I took last night just before I purchased it. (In the dark, wearing dark clothing). Good thing for me it is nimble and quick!
