I rode my early 70s Fuji Finest on a 20 mile ride today. This is a very comfy long-distance machine with 700 x 32c tires (Soma Shikoro) and generous gearing (48/38/28 rings and a 13-28 7 speed freewheel). The only parts original to the bike are the headset and seatpost. The parts are a mix of Japanese goodies: Suntour new winner freewheel, Suntour bar con shifters and cyclone derailleurs, SR Apex 86 bcd triple, first gen dura ace sidepulls, Nitto bar and stem, MKS pedals, and Shimano 600 hubs laced to Araya 20A rims. The saddle is a Selle Anatomica leather saddle because a bike this old deserves a leather saddle; the bag is an Acorn because waxed cotton just seems right on this bike as well,
