Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Looks like a Nishiki Pro. The fastback seat stays. They were early to use vertical dropouts on steel frames.

Well it appears to be a fillet brazed frame.

I'll say Toyo.

I found this on them, although it says they started around 1973. There are pictures of him doing that style seat clamp area which could be a signature thing.

You are right about the fillet brazed frame (but not Toyo)

Shame on you for having such a nice bicycle frame languishing in an attic for so long.

Nope--still waiting for Brand and Model...keep guessing.

I stopped riding it in about 1986 and it has been sitting since then. Back in 1986 it wasn't considered cool & vintage - it was considered an out of date bike.

I don't know what inspired me to give it that Miami Vice/Duran Duran pastel paint scheme!

I've only seen one frameset consistently built like that, but I figure the guy copied someone else's seatstay arrangement. He's a good builder though.

JP Weigle

I dunno if he's still building frames now.

Nope, not a Weigle.

This was a regular production model I am pretty sure (or very similar to regular production). I don't even know if the manufacturer did custom frames or not. I don't think of them as a custom builder.

I have seen pictures of one posted on Bike Forum about a year or so ago that was almost identical to mine but with the factory paint.

I paid the equivalent of $240 for the whole bike (hint: I didn't pay in US$)
