A little off topic, but I just registered on this site in order to get in touch with the "all-knowing" "T-Mar", as during my hours of research, you seem to be somewhat of an authority here.
My question to you, or anyone for that matter is this: some years ago I acquired a "Sekine" bicycle which immediately went into storage (18 years ago). I have now dragged it out, and I am having some trouble accurately identifying it. This cycle is mid brown/ bronze in colour, has very small wheels (about 12"). Rather heavy tube, with a single, large crank (about 10"). there are no gears. It has drum brakes front and rear, and has a fully floating rear end. The whole thing can be parked on a little kick-stand which flips down and under the rear wheel. It has a metal "Sekine cycles" badge on the front stem and the same name on a 3" plastic reflector mounted on the rear mudgaurd. Seems to be in perfect shape, and even the tires have remained fully inflated during all that time. Is there anything you can tell me about this apparently rare bird?, or should I just throw the description onto e-bay, and see what interest there is out there?
Any advice would be most welcome.
Thanks guys (and girls).
