1980 Fuji Sport 12
1980 Fuji Sport 12. Picked this bike up about a month ago, completely stock except for tires,
has the original reflectors, seat (like new condition), bar tape (also great condition), Rims, etc.
Barely any rust, minor chips on paint. Rides great.
Wondering if this was a good choice for my first road bike, fairly new to the bike community, I'm open to any info you might have on the bike.
Thanks!

Here's a couple of catalog scans for the bike. First is photos, second is the specs list for you to compare your components to.

That's a solid bike to get started! Those Suntour derailleurs shift well and are bulletproof. Enjoy the ride, keep it pretty much original and see how much you like road bikes.
If you haven't spent much time working on bikes, this a great one to learn how to adjust and maintain as you use it.
