Sekine SHS270 acquisition...
I bought this Sekine SHS270 today for $10.
Pretty cool with the dynamo lighting, fenders and saddle bag. The best part about it is that the seller still had the original purchase receipt!
It came from Victoria Sporting Goods (no longer exists) and was $224.95 before tax. Model number is stated as SHS270 and the serial number is 1005965. This is good for T-Mar's Sekine database, no?
Anyway, of course it fits into the usual "too small for me, too big for my girlfriend" category, so I think I will just restore it and keep it as a visitor's bike...or maybe sell it...

If it weren't for the fact that it would get shot down, a bicycle brand data base would be nice...
Nishiki
Sekine
Centurion
Fuji
Etc.
That would be a useful subforum.

Yes, no doubt, it's an SHS. But you forgot the most important piece of information - the date on the sales slip.

Leigh30, thanks, I 'll add it to the DB.
Skyrider - "LIke that guy on CSI". Am I really that obnoxious? I'll try to tone things down.
East Hill -"eh". Either you've been following too many Canadian bicycle threads or you've been nipping north of the border for some real beer.
