My $20 Green Bike

I just finished my $20 special to run to the farmer's market this summer. It's a SekineSHR from 1972 with a double butted chrome moly frame and steel rims. I was sorely tempted to change the wheels to alloy but the bike has a lot of integrity as the parts are original so I left them alone.

The bike came to me with very decent tires and tape. The tape is original to the bike. The only things I had to change were the cables and housing as well as the saddle. The rest of the parts are original. The old saddle was trash and I couldn't resist this one from my parts bin with green etching to complete the look.
