...just want to chime in that I used to have a Nishiki Road bike, either an '86 or an '87, can't remember which year. Navy blue and white. It was my first "real" road bike and catapulted me into the world of cycling. It was a great starter for me. I sortof regret selling it now, because I think now I could have salvaged the frame for conversion into a specialty bike (fixie or track), or just enjoyed it when I felt like going old school.
Anyhooo, that's my $.02!

The Nishiki has been great for my friend. her first bike where she CANNOT sit on the seat and plant her feet squarely on the ground. I wish I could hlep her with it but I think I would do more harm than good. So thanks everyone for the suggestions, I will send them on to her.

I had a white Nishiki, late 70's. I loved that bike.
