I was curious as to how much an old Nishiki bike with all original
components and original tires would sell for?Wyatt

Up here in NY, I’ve seen various Nishikis advertised on Craigslist for 75-100, depending on the model and condition. I’m assuming they sold because I’ve never seen any of them reposted.

Got any pix of the Nishiki? What model is it? What do you classify as old? Somebody gave me an old Nishiki Cascade that I want to rebuild into an off road fixie/SSer/69er (assuming I can find a fork). Let me know if you are willing to part out any of the bits.

It is a rigid 1970’s bike. I will try to post pics and what model tomorrow.
only thing not original is saddle(gel seat), which i will keep. Rofl. Even original brake pads! I think the seat post might not be original. Is that fine? -

Nishiki’s first mountain bike was called the Bushwhacker and it debuted around 1983/84 timeframe. The Cascade rolled out in the late 80s. Consider doing a SS build, not much to it, if everything else is good to go, just take off the rear cassette and get a BMX style rear cog (screw on with it’s own bearings) and strip the front cranks down to just the middle ring. If that thing has chrome Moose bars, it will look pimp!
