The emblem on the front is a raised metal looking emblem with an eagle head over the letter M and a red and yellow flag.
The tires could be original. Two tone tan rubber sidewalls (dryrotted) and black hybrid tread.
Everything works and it still rides smooth. I had no idea what I was picking up. I just needed a free bike.

Another Nishiki to add to the collection. I have a Nishiki Olympic (red + white), serial# CE08733. I'm in Canada so going by the interpretation guide this would likely be a 1975 model? 12 speed Shimano 600 groupset, Shimano Sakae SA crank. What level in the range would this model sit at? More entry-level? I'm hoping to restore it, anyone know where to source some original vintage bike decals?

Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting your information.
The serial number is from 1985 year of manufacture. Canadian Nishiki models did not begin distribution until 1976 manufactured frames.
I am guessing that it is a 1986 model year, because of the colours. Is there a "Bicycles of Distinction" logo on the seat tube? If so, then 1986 model year.
I cannot help you with the decals, but you may want to ensure that you get the correct model year.
