i like it… but the seat should look more aero. maybe bar end brake levers would look nice.

good job, I like it. Clean and simple.

I love it. Wes is delirious, the nos saddle and bar mount brake look just fine, especially that golden brake lever. And I’m glad to see you kept the original crank.

This is a nice simple build so I don’t get why it rates low.

This makes me miss my Olympic 12. Best bike I have had thusfar now I want to go out and buy another one.

I like that original paint. Can’t go back now.

This does look good converted. I agree the saddle looks less sporty and aero than desired.

looks nice yes but i think it should never have been converted…

I basically really only converted my Nishiki because the old corroded spokes started popping off…and I had no idea how to adjust the derailleurs (nor did I want to invest the time in learning). I agree, the original paint is best…but then you woulda had to keep all those braze-ons (and 80s Nishikis have some big heavy ones on the bottom bracket)
