Judging by your description, it is an upper end Sekine, most likely an SHS or SHT. The green paint on Sekines, if it is the darker green and not the olive, is one of the best paint colours I have seen applied to a bike yet - such a nice, rich tone! Hell, the olive looks cool too. I have a 1976 SHS that I am in the middle of fixing up right now:



Please post photos, photos, photos!

You may even want to post in the "Sekine world's finest bicycle" thread - the that never dies!
