Greetings from NC
 

Hi - greetings from NC. Looking to add some info the the Nishiki database but need to get my post count up a little bit before I can post hosted images!

My stable includes:

1984 Nishiki Riviera
2015? Scott Genius
2002-ish Klein Q-Pro Carbon
Late 90's Litespeed Owl Hollow
Generic Unicycle

My interests are trending toward Touring bikes and Gravel bikes. Hoping to learn a lot here!

Cheers!

Hey sjt, welcome from over here in Camel City. Interesting to see that you have that Klein. I recently bought that frameset to build up for my son's birthday, after buying my Wilier last summer. This was a first try on my part, took the Ultegra off the Wilier and put it on the Klein, whaddaya know, it works! Then I bought a low-end Campy groupset and put that on the Wilier (had to be all-Italian :) ), and can you believe it, that works too! Best of luck, hasta la vista.

Welcome. Nice little stable of bikes that you have there.

Welcome to Bike Forums, sjt!

Welcome from Kinston

Hello and welcome!

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone



The Klein I bought new while working in a bike shop north of Chicago. I also have a Klein Pulse Race MTB that I forgot about. Wife doesn't understand why I need so many bikes yet I find myself looking at what else is out there! I'l like to learn more about vintage steel bikes, different grades of steel tubing and vintage components.

The Nishiki I have is Tange 900 tubing - would a higher grade tubing ride better? Or simply be lighter?
