I finally got it! The 25" Trek 520! My Nishiki was getting very tired and needed a LOT of parts. The replacement cost of all of the parts was nearly $300 for the lowest end stuff (not to mention the parts that weren't quite worn out, but would also need replacement soon), and they'd still be obsolete standards and hard to find in the future, so I decided to go out and get the Trek... and here it is! More to come in the near future!
