• Steve H.’s Nishiki Century

    Here is Steve H.’s contribution to our collection, The Giant Bikes and their Un-Giant Owners, a Nishiki Century.
    Nishiki Century

    I got this Nishiki Century 12 speed off of FreeCycle. It was in pretty rough shape, it fell apart as I attempted to ride it home. After a lot of cleaning, and replacing parts, it’s finally ready to ride again, just in time for spring!

    Thanks Steve

      Looks a lot like my Olympic 12 that I crashed about a year ago and bent the frame. Bittersweet to see it.

      Paint still looks good. I noticed the saddle (seat) is all the way down though. This bike fit you OK?

      I could almost ride it comfortably with the seat at that height. Getting on and off was quite a problem though. It’s now owned by someone who can actually ride it.

      Was the guy who can actually ride it named Manute?

      I’m 6′-2″ and my Olympic 12 was the same size as that… and fit like a glove.
