A buddy's metalic lime green Sekine was the object of my first "cycle envy" in 1974 when I was still riding my brown, plumber's pipe C.Itoh with steel SunTour deraileurs and cottered crank. This Sekine was 25" frame, all alloy components and crank set, absolutely b-yoo-tee-ful. Alas, I couldn't find a Sekine larger than 25" so settled for a 26" Stella. But, that Sekine will be in my memory forever.
