Buying a Sekine Road bike help!!!?!?

Question

Know anything about a sekine road bike? I'm looking at one used that is about ten years old. Is 125 buck a good deal? How much is it worth??? THanks

Answer 1

A Sekine is more than 10 years old... I would say at LEAST 20 years old. Those bikes were part of the "Asian Revolution" which brought cheap but good quality bikes to the world marketplace, not only from Asia but from Europe and Canada as well. This started about 1974 and that bike was one of the first, and was made in Canada.

$125 is WAY too much for that bike.. even in excellent shape it should be somewhere in the $30-50 range at the most. The technology that is featured on the bike is largely obsolete.
