I'm not exactly sure how to date these fuji's but looking at catalogues and specs I suspect late 70's. right now it's just a frame, fork and headset hanging up on the wall in my garage. But I have all the original parts that came with it when I bought it. First of all, when I bought it the paint was in rough shape so I completely stripped it, I wasn't sure what color I wanted to paint it and I still continued to ride it so I gave it a coat of chrome paint. this should easily be removed. These are the original parts I have for it: headset, bottom bracket, sugino mighty cranks, fuji badged suntour derailleurs, suntour bar end shifters, nitto bars and stem, sr seat post, as well as the original wheelset. I also just picked up a fujita leather tensioned saddle that you are welcome to. I have brake levers on the bars now but I can't remember if they're original. Only one of the brake calipers is orignal, a dia compe 500g, the other is a dia compe as well but I forget what model it is.
It's a really nice frame, I'm sure you guys know how well these ride. I love it but it's about 3 cm too big for me. You can get creative with your paint job or restore. I see the fuji panel decals come up on ebay every once in a while, almost bought some but again I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. The original frame color was that real dark blue, almost black. I don't have pictures at the moment but if you want some I'll take some. I'm asking 100.00 plus shipping.
I also have what is either a NOS with some shelf wear or barely used modolo speedy brake set, no box. I picked these up a while ago and I haven't used them. They're the anodized silver model with beautiful gum hoods. I'm asking 45.00 shipped for them.
