Hugh’s 1980’s Sekine (Canada)

Posted

Fuchsia Hugh—as he is now known—came through for us once again; representing Canada as well as he did Austria just a few days ago. Anyone who’s been around here a while knows these Sekine have two “features” of which I am a big fan and that really make them stand out amongst the old and crappy. 1) A chrome pie plate that spells out S-E-K-I-N-E around the freewheel. 2) Spoon handle sized downtube shifters that have to be a good four inches long.  Add to that this fuchsia paint, and you’ve got an OTS to be proud of.

Hey Cameron,

Does this model look familliar to you? It has no model name on it just SAKINE. I`m guessing 1980`S but really not sure. Thought I would run it by you and see what you think.

Thanks Hugh

    That’s a Mid-70’s Sekine Medaille SHC.. Made in BC by a Japanese company. The shifters are standard Shimano Fingertip shifters that were pretty common at the time.
    I have a ’73, looks like the mix of components (Smano Lark/Thunderbird/Tourney) is almost identical, though my frame decals are the earlier version. Oh And mine isn’t freakin’ MAGENTA!! Never seen that color.. amazing.
