Early 70s Sekine SHS 271

Early 70s Sekine SHS 271. The owner rode it a few times and then put it under a tarp in a garage for 40 plus years. I bought it last year. I have as much money sunk into the tires, tubes, and rim strips as I do for the rest of the bike, : ). The bike is pretty much all original other than the consumables and saddle. All the bearing surfaces are in excellent shape which is a nice plus in an old bike. I've been riding the bike a lot as a lock up bike. It needs a rack but there is a lot to be said for the simplicity of this bike. It reminds me of the bike I rode in high school which also had turkey levers and rat trap pedals.
