1988 or 1989 Nishiki Modulus

Here's mine. The left chain stay is labeled Handcrafted by kawamura 100% ChromeMoly, size 64.5 cm. CrMo decals on the fork and seat tube. Shimano SIS decal on the right chain stay. Made in Japan on the seat tube. Modulus on the top tube. Serial # WG10773 on the bottom bracket. I acquired the bike from the original owner who used it as a triathlon bike. Per him he rebuilt the bike twice. When I acquired the bike it had :
Shimano Exage Sport components.
Aero Brake levers with LI code
Crank set with LH code
Square taper bottom bracket
Rd code L J
Fd code A450
Sakae seat post stamped 87
Front hub Sansin code DH, rim Araya 700c alloy
Rear hub Malliard 21st week of 89, rim malliard 700c alloy
Handlebars and Stem = Winpista
Biopace chain rings 52/42
Shifters = downtube indexed or friction code A450
Headset Hatta Vesta, Japan
Shimano 6 speed freewheel MF Z012
Dropouts: update next time I remove a wheel.

After I updated to Ultegra 6500 and Mavic Aksium wheels the bikes weight is now 20.3 lbs. I have considered dumping the old seatpost and B17 to decrease the weight even more but for now it is what it is. Lp
