Hi Jim

I quite enjoy your site. I'm catching on to when you post new photos of classic bicycles and I look for them regularly - thank you.

I bought my Nishiki International 20 years ago almost to the date. I still remember it hanging in the window of the bike shop. $720.00. It is the bike I pull down off the rack for a ride.

I replace parts as they wear out. It is a mix of Shimano 105 and the original Suntour. I just replaced the wheels with Synergy velocity, 105 hubs and wheelsmith spokes and also put vittoria 700-32 tires on it. The Brooks has been there for a few years now.

I spend my time west of Calgary in the foothills and my commute to work and back. Since the snow won't melt this year I will send some more pictures later when things green up a bit.

Cheers Ian
