Treasure trove

A bit too much background in lead
Throughout the US bike boom of the 1970s and into the 1980s, Nishiki and West Coast Cycle competed with domestic companies including Schwinn, Huffy, and Murray; European companies including Raleigh, Peugeot and Motobecane—as well as other nascent Japanese brands including Miyata, Fuji, Bridgestone, Panasonic, Univega, Lotus and Centurion—itself a line of Japanese-manufactured bicycles that were specified, distributed and marketed by Western States Imports (WSI), a US company similar to West Coast Cycle.

That's an awfully big chunk of the lead devoting to surveying the historical landscape. &mdash; MaxEnt 23:03, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
