Derby International ultimately got civil liberties from West Coast Cycle to market bikes under the Nishiki brand name in the United States. When WCC located it essential for Howie to live & relocate in Japan, Marui was extremely valuable in lending Howie's household some furniture for rented residence in Kobe. This is a huge advantage to Detroit Bikes because it is a stable, constant business, Pashak said.ĭetroit Bikes has a 50000 square foot production facility on the west side of the city and is the largest bike framework factory in the nation. Detroit Bikes also protected private financing from a British investor with Michigan connections. The partnership transpired due to dangers connected with Chinese tolls and the desire for much shorter order preparation and more fully assembled last domestic circulation that typically features overseas last assembly and delivery, Pashak said. Bikes entirely tore down with frameworks repainted. Detroit Bikes will open an assembly line in March for Dick's Nishiki Colorado mountain bike line for Dick's US retail locations, which number more than 850.
ALternatively you could just buy a new 26' 7,8, or 9 speed rear wheel for about $50 and use that SS kit.Nishiki is a name widely understood vintage touring, hiking and comfort bikes.
If you wanted to keep your rear wheel, you would need to remove the freewheel, redish the wheel, and alter the spacing washer arrangement (not possible with my original wheels, either). You have a freewheel back there and not a cassette. By the way, a SS conversion won't work on the original wheel. I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious, sorry I'm a newb! Let me know what you think! I still use my 1989 Cascade for hauling/commuting duties.

Heres a list of what I can think of so far, keep in mind I am on a bit of a budget.maybe 100 bucks? I'm really excited to get this thing lookin pretty! Thanks for the info and your time! Oh and thanks, she definitely one expensive bike holder! OK, so I'm looking at parts that I'll need to make this thing SS. Reason for me wanting info on the bike is simply because I cant find info on these bikes anywhere, and would just like to know a little bit about the bike I'll be riding around. I picked the bike up for 50 bucks, and just want to make an awesome ss out of it. If you do have to know & if you haven't already, you oughta check the vintage, retro, classic forum here & also look for a guy named t-mar in the classic & vintage forum bikeforums,net fine looking bike-holder you got there.good luck & have fun! Thanks for the reply Markaitch! The thought of this bike being a collectible or worth any sum of money hasn't even entered my mind. Ironically, today in the beginner forum they are telling some guy to avoid an old nishiki fs because it is a 'department store' bike.

It was a nice jap bike from kawamura in the 80's, then a lower-end version of raleigh in the 90's, was shut down around 2000-2001 & i've heard it was recently regenerated as a dick's sporting goods type bike. Nishiki has been thru several modes in its history. Tell me what you guys think! MRRhoades.does it really matter to you when & how your nishiki was made? You have a nice basis for a fun ss build there but keep in mind, just cuz something is kinda old, does not mean it is even slightly 'collectible'. I'm new to biking, this is actually gonna be my first mountain bike.I had a single speed bike growing up and I thought I'd just jump straight back into it. All in all I'd just like your guys opinions and any advice for the resto! Anyways, the reason I bought this bike was because I'm hoping the rear dropouts are going to allow me to convert it to SS! That's where you guys come in, will the dropout work? I knew horizontal drop outs were ideal, and these look like they are at about a 45degree angle. I just got home from picking up my new/old bike! It's a Nishiki Cascade, the gentleman I bought it from said It's an 88', he said he bought it new while in college.
