For sale early 80's Nishiki Cresta Touring machine. Excellent condition. Looks new. Completely stripped down, gone through and overhauled; fresh grease, cables and housing......the bike looks like it's right off the show room floor. It helped that it only had MAYBE 100 miles on it when I got it.

I have $400 into it, so I'd like to get at least that much for it. I realize it may seem high, but this bike is very nice. I built it up for my son, but he decided he wanted something else. hmph
I have many photos of the bike, so don't hesitate to ask. Shipping at cost and of course packed very well.
If you have read this far, thank you.
