This Nishiki is a very clean bike. I think I would agree with seller in that it is Japan's answer to a Raleigh with the full sloping fork crown and fork and stay ends. The seller does state that the wheelbase is 95cm, man that is short. It does appear to be very tight in the rear, although the tires look to be of a larger size than 23c. Real glad it isn't my size although I think I would hold out for a Colnago as I have seen some nice ones go for less than many RB1s.
