Subject: [CR]Help with Nishiki ID

Hello All...I just dragged home another jewel. Maybe someone can help me ID it. Here goes:

Early Nishiki.

Light enough to make me think it is CroMo

Early style "chopstick-script" headbadge.

Crude cast lugs identical to those on a "Professional" I used to have.

SunTour Cyclone derailleuers with BarCon shifters, braze-on guides on the downtube look original.

"Wrap-around " seatstays.

Sugino Mighty-Comp triple crankset.

Maybe this is some "higher-end" touring model?

Any guesses? , Thanks
