Successfully coldset the Nishiki. Hella satisfying!
Got it out to 135 pretty quick, but alignment was off by a few millimeters. Got it straightened up to about 30mm from seat tube to string on each side. Made a thing for the vice (but I need to make a proper set of soft jaws out of real wood at some point) to not scratch the paint, in order to get teh dropouts properly aligned. Plunked a wheel in, worked a dream!
