1993 Nishiki Alien

The Alien series of bikes were designed by Richard Cunningham who had built the Mantis bikes.  Nishiki took some of the design elements of the Mantis bikes and mass produced them.  This bike features square aluminum main tubes and most of a Deore LX parts package.  This would make a nice unique rider......wouldn't see another one on the trail!
