IMO, $150 would be a good price except in the softest of markets, provided condition is a stated. With college students returning to school, I would not think that that one would last long at that price.
Good to know! Living in the Seattle area, I've been intrigued by the story of Sekai and have been looking for one in decent condition recently.
Do you think anything would need to be replaced / updated? It seems like most of it is original and I don't want to change much but the tires seem worn and the shift cables / brake cables should be under the bar tape, IMO
