Newly acquired 1978ish Fuji S10-S road bike

This was a lucky pickup! Found it on FB Marketplace last night for $40 and seller agreed to deliver it locally. I'm guessing it's a '77 or '78 model by the 12 speeds, but S10-S designation. It has a Compe V front and Suntour V-GT rear derailleur plus Dia-Compe brakes and Ukai alloy rims. It feels great and will likely replace my heavier, taller (24"), chrome rimmed Panasonic Sport Deluxe. I will probably swap out the pedals from the Panasonic (relatively new MKS Sylvan Touring) to replace the clipless pedals on it (and save those clipless pedals for the near future lol). This bike is 21" or 22" so a much better fit for me (5'10").
