Help With Old Nishiki
 

I got a 10 speed Nishki at a garage sell for $10 but no nothing about this bike. For example, how old is it. Can you help? It says "Classic" on it, designed by Norco. It has a Shimano crank, Sun Tour derailers, Diacompe side pull brakes, and Win handlebars. It is painted a ver dark gray almost black.

Thanks

Wow, no responses yet. Check the serial number under the bottom bracket. Also, if you have the original brakes, crank and derailers, get the information off them and go to the classic trek site for checking dates of manufacture.

Sounds early-mid 80's to me. I'm no expert, and without photos or model numbers, I'd say a safe bet would be around there.
