I have had alot of Fujis since the 1970s. They are great bikes that are super reliable and ride well. Whether or not it is worth that much to somebody or not, this is a C&V forum. Many C&V bike-a-holics have a sixth sense for bargain-priced deals. They then go through the bikes themselves, mechanically and cosmetically. It's a hobby. That bike for a local sale in an average market might run $150 to $200+/-. E-bay asking prices can be crazy high. Then there can be shipping charges. For the money they are asking a C&V shopper might get a full Columbus or 531 frame and Campagnolo components. That bike has 27" wheels versus 700c, so tire selection is tight. If money is no object, what the heck. Otherwise, be patient and comb CL and Facebook Market Place. Garage sales and church sales can be great places to stumble across that "additional" bike. Prices can be as low as $20 for a really nice bike, but it's hit or miss.
