1978 Nishiki Superbe, that was painted by Cyclops in Toronto in the 1980s. Some neat details on the bike include the lovely lotus shape cut outs on the lugs, common on high end Nishiki and Kuawahara frames. The frame is made of Columbus tubing, a detail rare for Nishiki that I have only seen on one other model, the Cervino. Came out lovely, and I love the way the colours look on this one. I like the way that Cyclops painted it to mirror the original paint of the bike, (shown in the last photo) with the band's on the seat tube and the masked lugs to create a different coloured head tube.
