Like Dale, I get minimal rise out of Nishiki but there was an exception or two. Even though lacking of luster, their 'O.N.P.' was a cleanly lugged, cast-lugged, sloping external crowned frameset in bronze color that used very light Jaspanese tubing and hads fair;y clean work, The Altron with sante or the carbon-reinforced Sugino 75 crank was acceptable as was the Colnago partnered project bike they either branded or marketed.

Otherwise, yawn.

The Olympic and Oly 12 ranged in size fron 17" to 27", all with level toptubes.
