Nishiki Alien E-stay

[VassagoJay]

Hi

I've just got myself a Nishiki Alien frame and forks and was wondering if any of you guys had any info on them.
There does not seem to be to much info on the web so i thought i'd ask the experts.
I presume it takes a 1" headset ? any help would be appreciated

Here's a piccy of it

Grats, they're a nice frame. Those decals (the "alien" one) look a bit different to I remember them looking like. Nice bike all the same. Early 90's ones were certainly 1", but I don't know if they evolved (no pun intended).

They were imported by a shop in Windermere by the station, and pretty much every one I saw was green so that's a nice, different example. Dark blue seems to be the other popular colour.

Got it off eBay for £57 posted, is that a decent price ?

how funny is that . this is my old frame . :shock:
and this is a pic of my kitchen doors .

are you aware that the frame is cracked ?and the paint is bubling in various places . crack is at the head tube .

I sold it on here a few months back for £50 I think . do a search in the for sale section and you ill find it .

Head tube is 1 1/8 if I remember well .

Hopefully fixed or can be fixed. Nice frame them.

I did not know it was cracked and the seller did not mention it ! i dont suppose you have any old pics of the crack by any chance ?
I was aware that the paint was poor but thats not really a problem.
I have contacted the seller (ebay) so will wait for his reply.

I will keep you informed.
