Awesome Thanks !! I do rebuild Fat tire bikes.Road bikes I know very little about. This and a Centurian Mixte were in a Trash bin.I saw the Alum Wheels on both and Knew I should Grab them. Local Bike shop did all the Hard Work,bb bearings,Etc.
Really just a Rolling Antique that will see Mild Riding .
My Quess is The Red may have been Removed,can't see the weather being able to strip it off,I Dunno. Pedals and a Seat
Will prolly need find another basket case for them.Found another,very clean rider for $150 ,so I will have Two !
Thanx again for Uploading the Pics, Cheers Ric

Ive seen a few without the red or orange or black on the joints - just this single colour. I would guess that would most likely suggest it came out of the factory like that? But don't know. It isn't beyond belief that quite a few folks blasted and sprayed them. But for so many to be resprayed in this single ,creamy slightly off white colour, that would be a coincidence?

If You blow up the Before photo,right behind the lwr headset bearing You can see a Hint Of Red..I am amazed that something Found in The Trash was this Really cool Artifact that I Get to Play with.I had. Nishiki in Jr High that was the only Road bike.I would assume that the Feel is a bit harsh compared to newer bikes,but I have never had a newer style so I wouldn't Know the Difference.Did a 8 mile shakedown Yesterday and she Runs very smooth.Rear wheel has a slight bump but both are True. Found a 60 cm two tone Red n White that looks New.
Gonna grab that one as it's a bit Taller ,may be a better Rider..Cheers All,Stay Safe...From Your Gvmnt!lol

Indeed ! Nishiki - gets the thumbs up from me , quite a cool bike. Never owned one but it used to be on my wish list I just zoomed in on your before pic, I can see the red bit behind the headset. |
