I'm building a bike for a friend.
So far we've looked at a Bianchi Limited, early 80s - $250 firm (crotchety old grump)
Tomorrow we're lookin at a Nishiki International (ugh, w/27"wheels). I'm assuming it's from the mid 80s when they were nicer - one of the really pretty ones - $210
(i already have proper dual-pivot long reach brakes for the 700c conversion if need be)
Assuming both frames are in pristine condition and we're building up from the frame alone, which would you buy?

If good cycling technique is poetry in motion, mine's a dirty limerick.

Hmmm. I was expecting it to translate to "Schwinn" but this somehow makes sense.
