Given a chance to look the bike over carefully, I would feel comfortable paying up to $100.00. If the bike proved to be in really good shape, I would be willing to sell it for $250.00 and probably settle for $200.00 from a respectful buyer. That said, based on the pictures, it is not really possible for me to make a picture based value call but I do see at least $100.00 value there.

It was in Bremerton, a $10 walk-on, 1-hour ferry ride from downtown Seattle. So, besides the pics/presentation, that's one reason it sat on Craigslist for months at $85. I finally brought it home.
I have one of these nice Sugino cranksets on two of my bikes. This one's in wonderful shape. They don't really grow on trees. So that's the main reason I broke down and spent 4 hours in transit today for a crummy old road bike.
But it was a beautiful day.

Breaking it all down last night, it all went smooth until the end and found the expander stuck in the bottom of the stem. I banged on the top of the bolt a few times. Nothing. Back at it again today, I put a folded t-shirt over the top of the expander bolt and whacked it a few more times, and it finally freed itself. Whew.
Back in the old days, I would have checked that before I even purchased the bike. But in this case, I really just wanted the crankside and pedals. Maybe had I checked that, I could have haggled the price down substantially. But, no biggie.

Any insight to the serial number year, @T-Mar?
I believe the date codes for both the Suntour rd (OE) and Sugino crankset (47) correspond to 1972.

1972 component codes would be correct, as the serial number indcates May 1972 Fuji manufacture. It certainly looks like a rebranded Fuji Finest of that era.

The frame's a lot nicer in person, compared to those horrible craigs photos, presented like it was part of a sex ring. With the nice set of Suntour barcons, I should easily break even and keep the crankset and awesome Mikashima pedals for myself.
Score with the Blackburn cage clamps too. I'll have to find a home for this.

I think c-c is ...
21.5" tt
22" st.
After my team got crushed, I spent the better part of the day staying away from football and cleaning up the frame. Got rid of the rust spots on the chrome with aluminum foil. It's looking so good, now I'm thinking about building it up.

Ya know… it might make sweet bike . The chrome and paint look decent. Whatever you do , you made out good. The crankset and bar end shifters and the fact that the frame has some value plus a ride on the Blackball (if those are even still running) ya did good!

Ok, as a kid, I worked at the Bike Peddler in Silverdale. I’m curious if you have any bike peddler sticker on that bike.
also, to this day, whenever I visit Seattle with friends, they want to ride the ferry with me.
I explain to them that I had to take that shaky boat to and from school every day for three years. Thank you but no thanks. I’ll be in the bar over here.

I had a Campania that looked very similar. I bought it, cleaned it up, greased it up and promptly sold it. I was attracted by the chrome lugs (I'm a sucker for chrome lugs) but the bike was much heavier than any of my others and the ride felt sort of "dead". I made a few bucks at least.
Regarding the crankset, that is one of my favorites and that, along with the shifters and pedals was worth obtaining the bike. Add in the bottle cage as a bonus and you did well.

Looking forward to how you find my wrap job. It's the first time I've used shrink wrap ... and some hard plastic I carved out of an old bucket to reinforce the box. Yes, a bucket from the garden gave its life for this bike.

Crankset looks good. Too bad about the 44t.
These MKS Unique pedals have all-aluminum cages and threaded toe-clip holes, unlike those on two of my bikes. I don't even care that the dust caps are not identical. One is more 1972 old school with that big slot for a penny to fit. I fully overhauled both and shined up the rash with my two iron files.

yea , last time I was up there was in 1975 to see my oldest brother in Sooke. We stayed in Victoria and I took my 1957 Porsche across , for my new wife it was an experience. As a boy my folks and us two American boys would go over to see the rest of the family still in Canada, always on the Black Ball sometimes the crossings were quite rough. Usually a couple times a month. It was the mid to late fifties and by the time we were getting ready to move they were building the Space Needle. We could see it , once it got tall enough, from our place on Franklin St. Good memories but it seemed like it rained a lot up there where we were, snowed once and lasted long enough to build a snow man.

Great buy the matching crank assembly with the nice maxi crank with nice rings BB and pedals is worth close to $200. and the Sumtpur shift group with barennds is worth at least $100-150.. It is a lower end bike with $400- 500 in nicer parts..

The pedal and crank dust caps don't match but at least they are there 2 out 3 times there missing and vintage dust caps are sill pricey if you can find them about $25 a set.

I know what yer sayin’. To me, time wrenching on bikes is almost as good as pedaling along. A real good day is when you get to do both. I did a 22 mile ride Sunday and came home to finish my 1972 Mondia . I spent about eight hours total and made zero dollars but the reward was ….hmmm
The wrenchin’
The pedalin’
