Nishiki Colorado 19xx?

[Kona-853]

Hi All,

Picked this up locally the other day, however I'm having trouble finding out information about it.

Anyone know what year it is, also anyone got a catalogue as I want to find out the original Spec.

Also there’s a sticker on it from a Shop in the USA Called 'Sunshine Cycle shop Greenville SC', I see the shop is still in business (Re; Website).

Many Thx

Re:

Cool bike, looks to be in great shape too.

Bikepedia doesn't go back far enough - only to 1993.

I had a Bridgestone in '90 with those same fragile Shimano shifters. Pretty cool to find a bike that still has them intact - I broke two sets of the front shifter.

Not sure why they posted this, I can't read it, but I think that's your Colorado.

Hello Kona,

I put a reply in your catalog request, before I saw this posting. Your bike looks similar to this 1992 Nishiki in the USA.

Your Colorado has the older Richard Cunningham designed forks.

I think your pictured Colorado is closer to the 1992 model year.
