I could be interested in that Nishiki. Tell us the seat tube length (center of bottom bracket to top of tube at seat post) and the top tube length (center to center). Also, what size tire is on it (27 inch or 700c)?

It is in the garage still in the back of the truck. I will get it out tomorrow and measure all of that and let you know.

lol -- all of it. the dilapidated barn, the rusted bikes, the discussion, the point that the nishiki might be OK, the admission that it was purchased.. lol

I should have known better!
I love TE too. Such a great group of women. They never cease to make me smile."Chisel praise in stone; write criticism in sand."

Only one worth in the photo. And it is Nishiki. It's a good frame, maybe dirty but its a good bike. You can tell pretty easily in the photo because you also included the picture of the cranks. The other bikes in the photo used really cheap cranks. Its a single piece crank and spindle. Cheap cheap BAD!
The crank on Nishiki is broken into your bottom bracket, square spindle, crank arm with the screw to lock the arm into spindle. It's found on better quality bike. You got a good deal on the Nishiki. May need to replace the components including the headset. Still it is a good frame. You have a good eye.
