After much work, the white Sekine is rideable again.
I'm not overly proud of this one, but it's miles better than when I started. I ground new bearing surfaces on the bottom bracket and headset race, repacked the hubs, and replaced the rusty fork with a decent chrome Ishiwata one.
Unfortunately the 700c fork and 27" rims mean very little clearance for a front fender. As such I am leaving the dented fenders off for now - and I will suggest its future owner upgrade to 700c wheels at their earliest convenience.
Next up: the first of two early 90s Diamond Back MTBs. Lovely red spatter paint!
Yes! whenever bicycles are broken, or menaced by international communism, Bicycle Repair Man is ready!
