Andrew,

As I was updating my research on the SEKAI brand:

I noticed that on your web page that you have a sekai tandem, not made by yamaguchi nor miki, but made by a 3rd shop:

As a customer @ Champaign Cycle back in the 1970's, I never saw a tandem.  Would you happen to have any high-res copies of these photos or any additional pictures of the tandem?  Any further info on the tandem (what year, what sizes were available, estimated cost, did it sell poorly etc.) ??

Was this a special order or was it in a catalog ??    Because of the low resolution, I cannot tell from the head tube decal, whether its a 78-onwards (hexagonal) or 77-earlier (swirly) head tube badge.
