That link takes you to 1987 Centurions. Nice but not what I was after!
Is this S-10-S a 1977 or close? (I worked in a Fuji shop that year and raced last years Fuji Pro.) We knew those bikes were solid, decent riding and would go on forever.
Edit: Just noticed the plastic brake cable guides and rear brake housing hanger. Also that silver sticker on the DT above the shift cable stops. All clues that this bike is s few years later. '84-'85? Later? (Wasn't close to Fuji those years.)

Don't remember those silver labels. All the rest could be changed out later. And perhaps those were the rear hangers I worked with. (My excuse - 6 weeks after leaving that job, I had the head injury that made me famous in the Boston racing circles. That and the S-10-S was our lowest priced bike and got the least of my attention. That year we had the very first Sun Tour Superbe bikes. Frames Fuji put extra care into that were gorgeous.)
Edit: Bike started its life as a "10 speed" with 120 OLD. Fuji only went 126 6-speed on their top two bikes in '77 as I recall. ('76 was all 120, including my top of the line Pro. My Mooney was built 120 so I could use its wheels. Post head injury - KISS; keep it simple, stupid.)
As you can probably tell, I have a soft spot for Fuji. Good, solid bikes that worked well. A good company that impressed me many times with good, sound and ethical decisions. My Pro broke. Seat tube at the BB. (Tubes were cut a little short and probably had a poor mitered fit. The crack started about a month prior. Fuji was notified. Decision was just to ride/race it until it broke, then Fuji would send me a new one. Broke in a race. NBD other than settling for a DNF. That winter Fuji gave me a hand built beauty not quite like last year's gems or the next year's. Alignment - dead on perfect. Best mechanic in Boston measured it up then just stood back in awe. (Then, probably a little sadly, squeezed it down to 120 OLD so I could race my wheels without change.)

The 77 catalog spec table shows a SunTour "Mighty 6" freewheel 14-30I. (dropout spacing unknown)
S-10 but 12 speed.
The later S-12 with a triple crank was still called a S-12.
I have a 75 S-10 project waiting for my attention someday.

The linked catalog also shows a chromed rear triangle, though it does list this color.

Did these have the same geo as the S12?

The catalogs on classicfuji.posthaven.com list both S-10-S and later S-12 with 73 degree Headtube and Seat tube angle. I did not see a date on this technical guide, but more shares frame dimensions are provided.
I think this would make a sweet 650B bicycle too.

I had one of these in 57/58cm. Fantastic bike. Gorgeous color. This one looks in great shape!
