- * Nishiki's first e-stay was the '89 Alien.
* In '90 they came out with the Alien ACX 7 the Ariel, both with e-stays (I have one of each).
* In '91 they came out with a modified Alien ACX (I also have oen of these), an Alien AL, a modified Ariel & one other (it's name escapes me).
* In '92 they offered the Alien AL, Ariel & one other.
* I think they offered the Alien Al in '93 as well
None of Nishiki's e-stay bikes looked remotely like your bike, but like I said before, it's still a cool looking unit!
