1990 NISHIKI Alien ACX - Lockdown Find

1978 · May 28, 2020

The Aliens landed here yesterday....... with a bit of a bump unfortunately judging by the crack at the seat tube and top tube junction and also the head tube. This is very common for these particular frames so I'm not surprised or disappointed. This machine was the stuff dreams were made of when it graced the pages of MBA and the UK magazines and I was 11. I thought you guys might be interested in my latest lock down discovery.

Love the look of these, shame they nearly always seem to be cracked.

Me too, they were quite something in 1990! I think most of them must've broken, judging by the condition of the parts it was hardly ridden but has still cracked in two places!

Was the square tube so strong it didn’t flex but cracked joints?

I'm not sure but I bet they felt a bit silly when the frames all cracked having made that advert.
