I have a Nishiki 1985 girls twelve speed bike. It was my daughters. It has not been ridden very much and would require new tires, however they still work. It is a mauve color and is the custom sport version from Japan. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Nishiki is now manufactured in Gothenburg in Sweden and are producing excellent bikes of different styles. Not cheap, but price worthy as materials and equipment is excellent. Website is http://www.nishiki.se

I have an old 10 speed Nishiki, I supsect mid 80’s. The only thing I can determine wrong with it is needing new tires and adjustment of the breaks. The frame is straight & gears shift just fine. Any advice? Should I spend the money on it for a tune up?

I have a Nishiki International 12 speed that I bought while doing my tour in Okinawa. This is the model that the PX (AAFES) carried and sold for $390. It’s been a great bike, has never required any major repairs, and is still going strong. Any questions about it- feel free to ask! ddrfires308@yahoo.com

Just purchased a Nishiki at a garage sale. It’s in almost newcondition. Would like to register it on my insurance records, but can’t find the serial number. It’s a 21 speed, mountain project, pueblo with the number 4130 printed on the seat tube and front fork. The etched numbers YST 022.2 are on the fork locknut. Made in Taiwan also appears on the frame. Any info??
