Nishiki Mystic year unknown

[Coquitlam Geoff]

Ok I can hear the collective sighs....Nishiki, give me a break
Couldn’t resist a this rare odd ball
All original except pedals and saddle
I have a soft spot for these crazy vintage e-stay bikes
These have a Brodie style noodle for front derailleur
All LX build and those hubs are as smooth as they get
In very decent condition
All for $90

Re:

I'm not sure many people would complain at seeing another Nishiki, especially one as original as that.

Enjoy...

Going by the squared off shifter levers, 1991

date codes on the Shimano parts will tell you just how great I am at getting it 90% right, 40% of 60% of guesses

Re:

Thanks guys
Headset tube is 1”

Re:

I would hazard a guess that this is a 90 model year...with 1" headset tube

Re:

I’m lucky to even find a vintage bike with lx parts (find locally)... that’s a prime find.

Thanks it is a pretty interesting bike
Slack headset tube like Ritchey
Fluted seat post tube design just like my 90 Blizzard
Straight blade fork design like a GB or P2
Yes hard to find original unmolested bikes
This one lingered on CL for a week or more

Just pulled this bike's twin out of a barn here on the Island, but in 'relic' condition. Apparently these are BC specific and were commissioned by Cap's Cycles for the local market.
