I was reading this post and thought I would ask about a 57 cm Nishiki Cresta my brother picked up in Anacortes, Washington, we live in Vancouver, B.C. and went down there since there are not many good touring bikes available here. I will try and post some images and a brief description. It has a medium blue color with a darker blue head tube with gold lining on the lugs, double eyelets front and back, rear rack mounts, three water bottle mounts and canti brakes. The tubing sticker says "Nishiki double butted cro moly tubing" with Tange written underneath. Components are mostly Suntour and the wheels are 27". I will have to look at more details but I would assume 1983 or newer?
