Hello....its been a long time, but I finally am getting back to the bikes.
I'm b.cal's cousin and we now live pretty close so seeing his collection is getting me fired up.
I have a complete bike I acquired about 2 years ago and it has a lot of decent early 80's parts and is in great shape.
The stickers on it are Sekai, but the pads actually say Norco; but both the pads & stickers say Spitfire Turbo.
I have researched on & off and as of late I found one article that said that Norco (of Canada) imported Sekai bicycles (of Japan) back in the late 70's/early 80's, but rebranded them as their own.
I found a Norco magazine from the 80's with nearly the same bike in one of the pictures, but it had Norco stickers on it.
If anybody has some input, I'd appreciate it greatly.
Thanks, Rick
