Old Ten-Speed Block Party Weekend

Posted

Last week, John sent in several of his finished and future projects. Being that it is Friday, I thought that I would take this opportunity and post them all together and make our own little Old 10-Speed Block Party Weekend!  Enjoy.

Two old Nishiki 10 speeds rescued for future projects. Both were in very nice condition with Pantographed Shimano 600 components. Typical dry rot and crud but they will clean up nicely I am sure.

Just finished restoration of this old Bridgestone 100. Rides like a dream. Not the lightest old school bike but it is very responsive and fast.

Raleigh high carbon steel bike. All Suntour Honor components. Bike found in really nice condition. Clean up time did not take long at all on this one. I love the huge pie plate and the old school style crank.

Thanks John

    This block party weekend makes me want to break out the denim cutoffs, the slide rule, the Schlitz and Grand Funk.

      Who needs an excuse to sport cutoffs and crank a little GFR? Not me!

    Hey there John, I have the exact same Nishiki bike you have here. I was wondering what kind of components you put on it, but most importantly if you know what year and type of bike this is? Thanks for your help and nice restorations.

    Hi, I’m new in the bike world and just bought my first 10 speed. It looks remarkably like the white one you have. Nishiki is written in more asian looking writing, however the front fork is identical. I was wondering what year the white bike in the second picture is. Thanks for your time.
