I have a 1991 Fuji Sundance (last year made I believe).


Not sure what you want to know, but mine was sold with full Deore DX (2nd tier) components and an awesome splatter paint job.

The frame appears to be a 1986. The serial number will corroborate. At least the derailleurs appear to be replacements.

I hope the seller has the rest of the front roller cam brakes. Those have been out of production for about 30 years. The braze on posts WILL NOT accept standard cantilever brakes. So if you are missing parts, head to ebay to get them. Front brake is 90% of a bike's stopping power, so its critical!

Sometimes U brakes will fit those studs.


You do see roller cams on ebay all the time, so you can find parts. But its a PITA.

I have roller-cams on only one bike, and I don't find them difficult at all. And they're monstrously powerful, worth every bit of effort put in to make them work right.

That bike is in good company, across from that Stumpy. I wouldn't kick either one out of bed.
