NISHIKI finally finished.

[southern andy]

At last 


I picked this up a long time ago now and have slowly refurbished it over the year.

It did make an appearance at MK10 but in all honesty it wasn't finished. I finally got some tyres last week which was the missing piece of the jigsaw.

It's pretty well loaded with nice parts aswell   

Ukai rims
Suntour hubs
Suntour Power stem
Maxy Cross crank
KKT Lightening pedals
Elina saddle
Dia Compe F+R 890's
Redline stamped V bars

Here's the original thread about it.

I'm not entirely sure what year it is bit i'd hazard a guess at 81/82. The parts on this bike are virtually all original to the bike.

I know it's not a JMC or a Hutch but here goes.

Happy days.















and this was it at MK

Great job, looks ace 

[bobafett]

Love it Andy - glad you got her finished in the end mate 

Not too many of those Elina seats knocking round with the holes in the side 

Watched one of them go for decent money a while back on ebay 

If that seat came original to the suvivor bike I reckon your estimate of 81/82 is about right mate - I've got an original stock piccy of a 1981 mototrac wearing one of those seats

Looks ace

Very nice Andy , certainly done that one justice mate  

It's something different/unusual with a few nice bits on it too , great job Andy

It's the exact seat of the bike John, i hadn't even noticed it had holes in the side.

It's something different/unusual with a few nice bits on it too , great job Andy 

Different and unusual     i do seem to find the rare bikes don't i.





Cheers for all the healthy replies chaps, i didn't expect good vibes about it as it's not a top build cost wise and it certainly isn't big named BMX.

Personally Andy I prefer to see a bike restored like this than some bolt together NOS build , the fact that it's something unusual just adds to it's appeal imo 

I do think you should have put a pic up of how it was when you got it . (not everyone will click on that link  ) It shows what a great job you have done with it 



Top job mate 

[N13L VV]

   SUPERB mate.   the effort shows.

[hunterdubber]

Oozes the early years of BMX , lovely bike

Very nice Andy , a job well done  . I remember a kid bitd had one , nice bike .

No Christian mate, the crank, chainring, early Suntour Power stem ( note the angle) and the calipers were stripped and cleaned. I had to replace the DC levers and the seat post though as they were completely shagged.

The original Redline V bars were too shot and needed a rechrome, thankfully Paul Snav 69 came to my rescue and sold me a set exactly the same as the originals for the same price as the rechrome. Obviously doing this saved the REDLINE Stamp where a rechrome would have lost it.


cheers guys
