Out-of-sequence SN?
The frame to my Nishiki Prestige starts with KE, which would seem to indicate that it's an 85 (E=5, yes?), although if it's an 85 the K should be a W. Maybe this is one of those cases where the exception proves the rule--whatever the hell that means. Sigh. From the original components and tubing (Tange 2) I'd think 1985 should be right--certainly not 1975. It's a nice rider.
