Does anyone know who supplied accessories for Fuji bikes in the 80? I've been looking at the "broad range of convenience and safety accessories" from the 1981 catalog and wondering about the two rear racks I think I see, as well as what's up with the baskets? Getting a specific vintage rack seems like it might be tricky, but also worth a shot?

Anyone have any ideas?

There were a couple common types of racks back in the 80s. One is the spring loaded Pletscher rack, which looks like the one in the advertisement. https://www.ebay.com/itm/29552930292...mis&media=COPY

The other is the Blackburn type, which I think is cleaner and more useful. https://www.ebay.com/itm/25645416272...mis&media=COPY
