You could be the proud owner of this vintage Sekai 400 road bicycle. Made in Japan in 1979. The Sekai company itself was a small family owned importer with Japanese roots and connections of Japanese goods and Sekai bikes and frames. It grew out of a store called Velocipede in Seattle which still exists and is owned by the same family. This lugged Tange steel road bicycle is ready for a new home. Comes with brand new Bontrager T-1 tires.
