The 1980 high-tensile Nishiki frame received some new 27" CR18 rims, pasela tires, bars, saddle and a custom cut guard ring. Other bits were in my basement. The result is a bare-bones townie that is lighter than the fully loaded CroMo SOMA! It is fun to ride, but without a rack, lights, and fenders it is less useful than the SOMA.
