Hi all. Finally created an account, though I have lurked for years.

I recently picked up a Sekai Competition (76) I believe. $160, which was a little high for me but it rides so nice. Will be winter project #2 after I finish my chrome voyageur 11.8 (81). Some chainstay rust/pitting, and paint is chipped, but overall decals are solid and it's rideable.

Serial #76h91954 . Suntour barcons,siguno maxy double, suntour cyclone front, suntour ax rear, dia comp non aero levers and side pull calipers. Rims have seen better days, will need repair or most likely replacement. They are dented along the "lip" that holds the tires in. Sorry don't know the technical term. Oh, and era appropriate Schwinn gum walls came with the bike. AND a yellow jersey madison decal, as I understand they were and are very knowledgeable about Sekai bikes.

Once I figure out how to post pics on the mobile format, I will. Does anyone know where the competition was in the lineup pecking order? Any tips for cleaning without damaging the decals any further? Also, the shift cable housings are like wound/stainless. Any recommendations for finding similar housings? Will standard cable housings work?

thanks all in advance and sorry for the lengthy first post.
