    PRESTIGE
    Road Frameset with Tange No. 2 Double Butted Tubing
    Up for sale is a nice mid 1980’s vintage
    (1984-1986 range)
    Nishiki
    PRESTIGE
    road frame set.
    Handcrafted by Kawahara with Tange No. 2 double butted chrome-moly seamless tubes and SunTour
    GT-IV
    forged horizontal dropouts.
    (Tange No. 2, also called Champion No. 2, later simply No. 2, compared favorably with Columbus SL tube sets as both shared the identical .9/.6/.9mm butting)
    . Tange chrome-moly fork with sloping crown and forged dropouts. Frame features braze-on bottle mounts, chain peg, cable guides, shifter bosses, pump peg, and bottom bracket guides, and is machined for recessed brake caliper mounting. Sale includes headset, bottom bracket, Sugino micro adjusting alloy seat post, and binder bolt.
    The frame is in excellent structural condition. Cosmetically the original paint and graphics are in good condition, a few marks and scuffs from normal use,
    (too many to list individually but notably on the chain stays and around the dropouts),
    please see pictures. Over-all I’d rate the condition about an 8½ out of 10.
