Shimano Selecta T, the SEKINE SHC 271appears to be identical to the subject bicycle in the saddle, chrome pattern, shifters and brake levers, brakes and even rim reflectors!
Edit, both are also are NOT quick release axels
This one, identified as an SHC, is actually a slightly earlier version of the RM-30, circa 1978-1979.
