Doug E’s Sekine HTFC

Posted

We’re featuring all Sekine 10-Speeds for the remainder of the week.  Sekines and their giant die-cut S-E-K-I-N-E pie plates have become a favorite of mine. Here is Doug E’s very Stylishtical fendered friend.

Hi Cameron, my original purchase was a $10. dollar ladies Sekine. The outstanding components (Shimano 500, derailers, Tourney centerpull brakes, Stainless steel seatpost), and build quality of this 70s’ Sekine prompted me to hunt down a similar donorbike and build one for myself.
The end result being fairly true to the brand. The only up-grades are the Nokon cables, red chain, and Continental tires.
Its only set up for 5 right now , when I find a matching front shift lever she will be returned to 10 speed config. Vanilla Sweetness. DougE

Thanks Doug

    You beat me to the punch.
    I’ve a collection of 9 or twelve Sekines(I’ve a couple hundred bikes and not sure of the exact count)and was about to submit a freshly rebuilt, all original (except tires of course) SHT model in pearl white. Oh well. I do have this model in the mixte version that’s currently on the stand. Maybe I’ll submit that one, it’s beautiful.

      I hope you’ll post the SHT model as well. I can’t imagine a more appropriate name for a site that honors old and crappy! 🙂

    Don`t you just love it when a great plan comes together. But no pic of the gem crested head badge?
