Got another load to sell from my hoarder friend and this beautiful lower end Fuji was in the mix. I know we all like pics of old bikes.

Love the earlier Fuji colors and decals. Full of class. The Japanese Peugeot in this regard

That's aged well. Does your friend have a climate controlled room for hoarding? There isn't even a hint of rust in those pictures.

Any idea the year? Later 70s, Early 80s, maybe? The fluted seat post looks like an upgrade for a lower end bike.

Thanks for sharing.

Here’s a ladies Super Sport that came with the Fuji. I’m thinking about robbing the barcons.

Room? He has around 200-300 of these in his garages and house. He's got enough parts and bikes to open 3 bike shops. Still has NOS Schwinn and Campy parts in the boxes from buying out closing bike shops.

Long live Bahama Blue - I flipped an old Fuji Sagres with that color finish a couple of years ago, which was also just about as minty fresh as this one. Quad butted tubing - it was a very nice riding bike!

What's the saddle on that Schwinn SS? Is it leather or "pleather"?

It looks like the other Schwinn galoshes saddles I've seen: embossed rubber cover stretched over a plastic base riveted to a recycled car fender steel frame. Or multiple longitudinal springs hooked to that steel frame. Long lasting and good for 1 mile rides, with a lunch break half way.
