Hi. I have two Sekine bikes and absolutely love them. The Champion tubing is so light and responsive and the initial purchase price was such a deal compared to other vintage offerings. Will definitely keep and upgrade the components over time. Could not be happier!!
ReplyDeleteJust found a bargain SHC271 in an antique shop. All original parts and can’t wait for winter to be over.
