Fuji Touring Series V F/F/HS/Canti's-53cm
Fuji Touring Series V, I believe it's an '85. Dark green and chrome. Paints a 7.5/8 out of 10. Chrome is decent. Headset has superficial corrosion on exterior of cups. Inner cups/cones look great. No dents or dings. Typical chips/scrapes. 53cm C-C seat tube, 54.5cm C-C top tube, 13.3 Oal headtube. Comes with stock canti brakes with straddle cables and roller yokes.
Minor paint residue/spots on front of fork legs.
$125, buyer covers shipping.

Yes. I'm "guessing" 54.5. (see below)
Tire clearance would be helpful.
I'm getting into gravel, and resisting discs.
This would help me stay true to steel lugged and still ride with the cool kids.
The deal-breaker is often clearance.

This Saratoga is listed as a 54 and shows a noticeably shorter head tube. Not disparaging your sale OP but I think your measurements are off, even if c-t-c. Still a lovely bike.

This is supposedly from an '85 Fuji catalog. I think it's probably a 55cm - maybe measured to the top of the seat tube. It's a nice looking bike!

Seat tube measures out at 21" C-T-C, 21.5" C-T-T.
Top tube measure out at 21.75" C-T-C.
Headtube is 5.25" overall.
Feel free to convert to cm's on your own.
Been at this measuring thing for awhile now, pretty sure I got it right.
