Stolen: Vintage Nishiki Olympiad

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

My house was burglarized yesterday. Along with my laptop, CDs, and library
book (Wha?) they ripped off my newly acquired Nishiki Olympiad. THe beauty
was made in the 70s and was a stunning grey/silver with bright white
fenders. I’m 6’3″ so the frame was tall tall tall. The seat came to most
people’s chests. Unfortunately I can’t remember the exact frame size but
I’ll remember soon. THe handlebars weren’t dropped but more of a typical
commuter style so the rider sat upright. It was a ten-speed and had racing
stripe-type designs up and down the seat tube. Basically it’s a beautiful
greyish bike with fading white and pink highlights.
