Hi there! I just bought an off-white roadster Sekine and have tried to find out more about it but my research is coming short! The lady who sold it to me said it is a 10 speed but I have my doubts though. I've found the word "Thunderbird" on some parts of the bike (sorry I can't get technical about the terms... this is my first bike!). I know that it's probably from the middle to late 70s because it doesn't have the rhinestone thing and it's already made in Canada, not Japan.



I thought that maybe, it was this bike: http://www.mytenspeeds.com/My_TenSpe...DataBase_7.jpg

but then I noticed that my bike, in regards to the uh... small metal wheel in the back tire, had SEKINE written around it, not just circles punched around it. Also, my bike has the uh... gear shifts in the center, in between the two handle bars. There are two levers for this function, that you simply push up or down. Oh and my bike had the initials SR somewhere in the stem.

I hope you can help me identify this bike because I feel like it'll feel more like "my" bike if I knew the history around it and I can value it more. Appraisals can also be given so I know how much I can resell it for in the future I guess, but it's not that important.
