By the way, you DID know I have a soft spot for Nishikis, didn't you?
I've got five....

This thread is hilarious. What an adventure, Sandra! I'm glad you bought the Nishiki... I was looking at the pictures, and my first thought was, oh... she should have rescued that poor Nishiki. Someone could make a nice single-speed city bike out of it or something!![]()

See, that's why I bought it (besides I thought I might use the pedals). I'd love to do that, but I had to have SOMETHING to practice on. I didn't want anything too expensive to practice on but I didn't want a pile of rust either!
Now if I only knew how to start.

Those ancient looking wheelchairs make me very sad, for some reason.
my thoughts exactly. That's why I took the picture. Those are so old, you just don't see them anymore. There were several wheelchairs there. Sad because the people have probably gone on...and what do you do with an old wheelchair? Pawn it I suppose.![]()

No, they are not all mixtes.
Nishiki Pro
Nishiki Olympic 12
Nishiki Sport mixte
Nishiki International
and I forget the last one.
Here's a photo of all the mixtes I had at one point, including a second Sport mixte which I no longer own, and the Raleigh which now lives with mimitabby.

Hey Sandra.....you sure you don't have any more bike buying "confessions" to make?![]()
If we are counting our bikes, I think it would be fair enough to only count bikes we own that are in somewhat functional condition. Thus, your Nishiki does not count- it is classified as "parts".![]()
Yes, poor me with only one bike. (heh heh, but my one bike is very nice, AND I have a deposit in on my luscious custom which will be born a few months from now...yummy!)
