That frame may be a lot older. Could be a 77"!

Re: 1979 Sekai

It is a 1979 Superhawk.
Read this thread the last post is in regards to a 79 Superhawk ad. http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=140275
I dont have a scanner but it is that bike.

Now I know the 79 is identical to mine EXCEPT the 79 has no box gusset behind the BB.  Also the hiole in my bike is larger and the back of the front gusset on yours is more flat and mine more arched. Still mine could be a 77 Sekai I'll keep digging.

Back to yours it is all original. Except the grips I think. The ad bike doesnt have a suede seat but yours could be upgraded by the dealer or a better model. But the bike in the add and in the details is the same forks, same cranks, same stem and bars, same rims. It says in the add it comes with Shimano brakes and hubs. I cant tell from the picture if yours has that.

What a great and rare find. Check out my site http://sekaibmx.wordpress.com
