I just picked this 1984 Fuji touring series III up on marketplace and it looks like a nice frame but some original parts replaced. Rear wheel, chainring, seat and maybe a few other small parts. I am looking forward to getting ideas and seeing what other members have accomplished with their vintage Fuji touring bike’s. It’s really great to see some post and itemized list and pictures of their bikes and components that work on their build’s and some of the outstanding workmanship completed. “Why reinvent the wheel”
My intentions for this bike are keeping it a touring bike but with a flat bar and trying to keep a lot original with the drivetrain and brakes but new brake lever’s. I would like to update to index shifting but keep the down tube setup, but I am not sure about a source. Thanks for any input or ideas from forum members. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...cc1ca75789.jpg |

Simple curves are better than compound. |
Thanks, I will do just that!

Microshift makes indexed thumbies that can be used instead of the shifters on the down tube. Show us your drop to upright bar conversions |

I have 2 in storage, an 81 and an 83. The 81 is not going anywhere else.

Fuji Grand Tourer SE
It came with the rear derailleur so I added a triple, bartends and a longer fd to make it a true touring bike. T

Raleigh Wyoming. Couldn't find a Portage or Kodiak, so got this one. Finally got it set up for touring. Done a few short 1-2 day trips; just need more time off work.

@mississippimud
Anytime my friend. ;) :thumb: Very nice and very cool. That Gipiemme triple is awesome, funny how a special frame can inspire a special build. |
