-This is another Norco Nishiki, as it has a sticker on the non drive side chainstay that reads "Mountain series designed by Norco."  By this time Norco had already fully branded their own Nishikis, so perhaps this is a transitionary branding.  In any case, the bicycle to the right was purchaced in Canada.  There are very few early US Nishikis with decent drive side pictures.+This is another Norco Nishiki, as it has a sticker on the non drive side chainstay that reads "Mountain series designed by Norco."  By this time Norco had already fully branded their own Nishikis, so perhaps this is a transitional branding.  In any case, the bicycle to the right was purchased in Canada.  There are very few early US Nishikis with decent drive side pictures.
