These are really nice bikes. I really like my SHS 271 which I use primarily as a lock up bike. The bike rides great. I just wish I could track down one of those awesome Sekine pie plates.
Thanks for the info! Sorry I am fairly new to all this. So the bottom bracket is still intact and I have a Sugino RD2 crankset I would like to use ideally, but from what I am reading the taper will be wrong? How do I address this?
