Description
Vintage Nishiki Linear Road Bike: Restoration-Ready Classic
Own a piece of cycling heritage! This 56cm 1980s Nishiki Linear road bike blends iconic Japanese craftsmanship with timeless performance potential. Built around a featherlight Tange 900 chromoly steel frame (21lbs total weight), it’s engineered for spirited rides and responsive handling—ideal for collectors, retro enthusiasts, or weekend restorers seeking a rewarding project.
Why Restore This Gem?
- Premium Foundation: Tange chromoly frame/fork offers legendary durability and ride quality—unlike modern entry-level alloys.
- Shimano 105 Legacy: Original 2×6-speed drivetrain with Biopace chainrings (52/42T) delivers smooth vintage shifting.
- Authentic Details: Nitto handlebars, Araya 700c wheels, and red/white livery exude retro charm.
Condition & Revival Potential
Rated fair for age (stored long-term; not heavily ridden). Ready for renewal:
– Needs Attention: Tires/tubes, brake pads, cables/housing, chain, bar tape, and saddle replacement. Rear derailleur requires cleaning/lubrication.
– Rewarding Project: With basic refurbishment, this bike will ride like new—perfect for DIY mechanics or custom builds!
Perfect For
- Riders 5’8”–6’0” seeking a nimble, classic road bike
- Urban commuters craving vintage style
- Restoration hobbyists (pedals/toe cages included!)
Peace of Mind
