Mystery Nishiki!

Does anyone know which model this is? It looks like it's from around 86 with full 600, Infinity tubing, and internal routing. It says it was designed by Norco on the non drive chainstay.

I found it in Vancouver, BC and I've never seen it before. Thanks!

Looks to me like a Nishiki Landau. I have one that also says designed by Norco. Beyond that mine has Suntour Cyclone components and Tange 900 tubing. If you could post some photos of the componentry and check for a model name on the top tube this may also lead to more leads

It's not a Landau because it has Tange Infinty tubing and Shimano 600 Components. Landau was mid range whereas this is upper with the internal cable routing.

Tange infinity is a mid range tubing.
