Treasure trove

[edit]

A bit too much background in lead

[edit]

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. — MaxEnt 23:03, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
