You could be the proud owner of this vintage Sekai bicycle. Hand built in Japan in 1977 this bike features a beautiful lugged frameset and ten speed SunTour Cyclone drivetrain. Perfect for the steel loving rider or collector, this bicycle is looking for a new home and it could be yours.

The Sekai company was a small family owned importer of Japanese goods. It grew out of a store called Velocipede which still exists and is owned by the same family. The Sekai name was co-owned by Shinwa trading company, who did all the exporting from Japan for Sekai. At one time, they owned four stores plus Sekai, and they did a mail order business through the Velocipede catalog.

BIKE CONDITION
