I've got an early Nishiki International up for bid on eBay, and while I want to sell it, I'm not really posting here to solicit. http://ebay.com/<blah>

It's a nicely made bike that I'd guess is mid seventies. I know later examples were built with Tange #1; but this one appears never to have had a tubing decal. Can anyone tell me more about Internationals? ? Mine has Suntour Power Shifters, Cyclone GT & NSL derailleurs, Super Maxi crank. Clearly a sport-tourer, so maybe not your cup of tea, but I'll bet some of you worked in shops that sold these a few yesterdays ago.
