Mark M.’s Nishiki Olympic 12

Posted

After over a year of presenting the crappiest the bike lane has to offer, I’ve begun to notice eerie trends. I seem to receive bikes in surges, and within these surges there is always some sort of theme. Four green bikes in a week, a series of 73-74 Varsities(?), several Super Vintage rides, or what have you. None of it seems to be coaxed or coordinated it just seems to happen. As if some celestial being enjoys meddling in the content of this site.

Well, it has happened again! This time a Nishiki Olympic 12 from Mark M., not too unlike the Olympic 12 submitted by Doohickie last week. Is it coincidence or is there someone or something out there directing the course of the OTSG, and I am but its earthly liaison?

This is a stock original Nishiki. I found this at a fundraiser for $35.00! I cleaned it up and gave it to my wife so we can do some riding together.

Thanks Mark

    A good find for $35.

    What kind of tubing is that sticker for?

    Also, what brand of cranks are those? They look pretty cool.

    Gotta love that “Old School” spring loaded rear rack & the rear view mirror! 🙂

    I just found my Grandpa’s Nishiki Olympic Royale and I’m wondering if you know where to find tires for it, as well as the specs for the tube and other parts?
