Nishiki Kodiak
Can anyone tell me anything about the Nishiki Kodiak mountain bikes? I found a used one I am intetested in but can't seem to find much info on it. It has the Shimano Biopace crank so I am assuming it is a late 80's or early 90's mountain bike.

You can still post the link by manually typing it in. Just omit the https:// prefix or add a space or two to over ride the auto-censor.
Regardless, the Kodiak was a Canadian market, mid-range model. The late 1980s version used a full Tange CrMo butted tubeset and were typically Shimano Deore DX equipped. It transitioned to Shimano Deore LX in 1990.

If it fits you it looks like a decent serviceable bike and a good deal at that price. A fairly tall bike it would appear.

This is a big bike. It looks like a decent deal for $45 but if your not 6'+ it might be too big

This isn't right! I'm seeing what appears to be a lower end Exage cankset and nutted axles. it looks like this one has been completely rebuilt with low end components.

Be ready to possibly need to replace those shifters. An early model and far from reliable in its now advanced age. I've had three bikes with them, had to replace two sets
