Sekine Cycle 1975 Catalogue

Here's a detailed look at the complete line up of quality Sekine Cycles in 1975. Frames and parts manufactured in Japan were shipped to the plant in Rivers, Manitoba, where the pieces were assembled into bicycles.

This gem of a catalogue comes from the collection of Lorne Shields. I've photographed the pages, and posted them here for your viewing pleasure. Many of the pages are marked by handwritten numbers, those are the prices (in 1975!).

    Nice score!
    BTW, I have another Sekine bike (Green) for sale, and I thought of you first, since you're such a big fan. Interested? Let me know!

    Really cool catalog! Not to mention, nice blog you have. I just bought my first Sekine and used your site and mytenspeeds.com to identify mine as a SHC270 modified to a single speed with a narrow straight bar. Thanks.

    This is fascinating. I have two Sekines that I purchased about 40 years ago. They are in excellent condition. One has a label stating that it was manufactured in Japan. Wow!

    What are these puppies worth? I have one that is too big for me to ride, but I don't simply want to swap it or give it away.

    I just got a white-gold Sekine SHT 23". I love that bike, rides like a charm, feels lightweight, too.
    Curiously, the front derailleur on mine is a Dura-Ace from that era. Everything else but the handle bars and brake levers seem stock.
    The serial number on mine is Y1138766.

    I have a complete stock shc270, It could even be from this 1975 catalogue, it is identical, even down to the color. I'm planning on completely restoring it, creating new decals and repainting. Any idea where I'd get a formula for that specific pearlescenty green they used?

      Well yes, my dad was the chemist that created the formula for the Sekine bicycles that were built in Manitoba. I remember leafing through this catalogue as akid. Both my brother and I got bikes at cost. Great bikes. My dad is turning 90 next month but I could ask him about the formula@

    Hello Rod,
    I have come across your site while researching the Sekine bicycle brand.
    I have what appears to be a different pre 1973 Sekine commuter bike I have inherited that may be of interest to people?
    It is has not been cared for (rust on handle bars, pack-rack & chain guard)unfortunately but is in good original operational condition.
    I am happy to forward photos if you're interested if you wish to provide an email.
    I do not subscribe to twitter / facebook.
    regards
