Custom Nishiki
This is gonna hurt , but I can take it . I say that because I have over 500. in it . First what do you think of this bike and what do you think the value is . Thanks for looking .
The bike is a 86' Nishiki Altron (aluminum) It came to me as a bare frame that some one had started to make into a fixie , they were trying to get cable ties and anything else they didn't want off with a hammer and chisel . The worst thing that did was to ruin what was left of the paint as it was a re paint by Baylis .
A big expense on this build was the Vitus fork and the wheel build of NOS Shimano 600 hubs , Velocity tubulars . Brakes are Tektro . FD and RD are 7400 DA . Those are the most expensive items .

I am no help with its value, but I do promise that this has WOW written all over it. I love the color and setup. The pedals make it realistic and recreational. Good build.

Thanks for the nod @daspydrd , it was actually a fun and learning experience build . Mainly the paint and Velocals . First I did not know that when spraying the day glo you need a white base coat . And second I melted the Velocals by spraying the cc to heavy .

Sweet frame-- you are doing great if you are five hundy into this bike and this is what you've got. Go thrash it-- looks like that's what it wants.
