Roger A’s Vista Esquire

Posted

Yesterday’s entry had Cotters calling for picture minimum, so today……… you won’t be getting much more. In fact you may be getting less—depending on how you look at it—since Roger nearly cropped out the entire top of his Vista Esquire. This entry (like most) is a couple months old, but at the time it was sent Roger was hoping to find a new home for this little beaut.

Year: Unknown
Make: NIDA Vista
Model: Esquire

It was really dirty and had been neqlected when I bought if from a guy who bought it at a yard sale.  I cleaned and lubed it.  I replace the rear axle which was bent with another used axle. The Sunshine hubs are essential the same as the ones on my Schwinn Varsity, just not “Schwinn Approved”.  The Vista branded Suntour GT rear derailleur is a very nice component.

It is a 21+ inches frame which makes just a little to big for my short legs, so I looking to find an new owner.

    Nice rack too.
    If somebody sends in a pic of a Lego bike could you post it or not, because its not really an ots? Lol Your doing a good job here. But a Lego bike would look really pixelated.

      John h,
      …words like pixelated strain my brain.
      I totally agree–Cameron does a fine job, and the Gallery shows his handiwork and dedication.
      A while back, he gave me a hard time about a mattress saddle—gotta keep him on his toes!
      A lego bike…..hmmm?

    The Vista was a very nice bike once I got it cleaned up. I purposely invested very little in it other than elbow grease and grease so I could sell it at low price. A young man and his girl friend bought it to ride in the City. I almost think I performed a public service.
