None of the Shimano components nor the seatpost are dated. I can't attach a photo yet, but the serial number may be "2 1261", or "12 1261". It could also be that the 6 is a distorted 8. Any thoughts? I'll post pics when I'm able.

That sounds like the SHS 271. It must be raining blue SHS 271s in Iowa as I have the same color/make bike. I need to post pictures of my Sekine on this thread.

You've probably seen this but this catalog is useful,

This is the bike as I found it; I've been slowly overhauling and rehabbing it. It's a fine old bike.
