New Bike: Nishiki Regal


This bike was free - it has a stuck seatpost.  Otherwise it's in really nice condition, hardly any mileage.  Midweight frame (Tange 5), stamped dropouts, 27" wheels.

I will probably make a device up to ram the seatpost out from underneath, using the slide hammer.  There are a few bikes that need this treatment, so now is the time to come up with a clever way to do it.

I sold the old Mountaineer and finished up a 5-speed Raleigh Campus - it just needs the rear brakes dressed and a bit more tweaking / oiling / polishing and it will be done.  It's either becoming a mother-in-law bike or going to a family friend.
