looks like it would be a lovely bike to cruise around town on, I would strip, clean and grease it and put a set of mustache bars and ride it as-is.

one thing I don’t love about these older bikes is they tend to have 27.5″ wheels which is challenging to find tires for that aren’t too wide ….. and as far as I understand I can’t fit 28″ wheels …. and they have freewheels which I don’t have the tools to swap whereas freehubs I have tools and spare parts for. suggestions? 🙂

Hey bud, I have a similar Nisiki that I could donate to you cause if you are anywhere near NJ/ Philly. I picked it up to resto but have too many projects and the wife has been after me to clear out the workshop. Between the 2 you could definitely make something cool.
