Fuji has equipped this adventure bike with a Shimano Sora 2x9-Speed groupset and Tektro Mira mechanical disc brakes, giving you efficient gearing and powerful all-weather braking for adventures anywhere on Earth.

I agree with 79pmooney and ramzilla if the frame fits and is free of dents (and is straight), at $45 it would be worth getting.This value for money and great performing gravel bike features an aluminium frame and Chromoly (CrMo) forks for a sublime balance of durable and stable performance at a low weight. I'm not sure what the fork on the CL bike is, but I would guess that it's hi-ten, just like the S12-S.

In 1982 that tubing was used on models from S12-S LTD to the top of the line Professional Super. If the CL bike is the same frame, it's made with Fuji's DB 331 tubing. The CL bike appears to have that same decal between the shifters. I'm not sure what the "Lifecycle 1972-1982" is all about, but I take it that's what the model commemorates. I did find a decent set of photos of one here. I tried to find some info on this "10th Anniversary" model, but there isn't a whole lot out there (there's nothing similar in the catalogs at ). The head tube could be a repaint, too, since Fuji would have probably matched it with the gold/champagne of the seat tube. I would agree with others that this a mashup of all kinds of parts. (I have done the 27" to 700c switch on at least 4 different bikes over the years, most of which I then set up fixed.) SS or fix gear will be easy with the horizontal dropouts. If it is the 27" standers, that's cool because it allows you to go 700c with some longer brakes (Mafacs will fit easily), then run big fat tires and fenders for a super winter bike. There's a chance I am wrong about the 27" wheels but if you find that is the case, well getting back the $40 for those alloy wheels would not be too hard and they would be very welcome at any bike donation center. Parts from almost anywhere will drop on it. It will all be standard Japanese English tube diameters, headset, BB, etc. It can be cold-set to whatever spacing you want. Fuji was a little slow in general and liked the SunTour narrow spacing, so it is not given which way this bike is setup. (This was a time of change in the industry, 120-126 standard. You can cut 6 mm off the axle, remove a few spacers and have a 120 and the Anniversary might be a 126 anyway. Those 12 speed wheels you are looking at are probably spaced 126, not 120 which the Anniversary might be. But I will bet the main diamond is Cr-Mo on the bike Anniversary.Īt $45 I'd grab it. I also see that the seatstays do not have the nice fluted caps of the V so I will guess that they are plain steel (and the chainstays) instead of Cr-Mo like the V.

We were selling full Superbe Fuji Pros in 1977.) Fuji had the newest and latest from those two manufacturers a year before anyone else. Sugino and SunTour were both Fuji partners in the '70s and '80s. (And rode and still ride Sugino and SunTour equipment. Nothing.īen - just a guy who assembled and raced Fujis in the late '70s, loved them and always looked when I was in a shop that sold them.

(Well, he saw the "12-speed" on the chainstay and I hope he got the serial number and his phone number right.) There is nothing on that bike that measures or is spec'ed at 26". The seller of the Anniversary does not have a clue. This is by eye, but I have eyeballed quite a few. The V pictured is close to a 23 1/2" (59 cm), also maybe just under. The Anniversary is sized at close to 22" (56 cm) c-t, or maybe just under. Also SunTour's Mountech derailleurs didn't exist yet in 1981. The derailleurs are different probably in part because of the double to triple change. The seat on the Anniversary in not original nor is the post (and both are a BIG step down from the originals. I have done it many times on similar bikes.) Shifters on the V are bar-cons, not down tube.

The original wheels would have had SunTour's then fairly new narrow Winner 6-speed freewheel.) The Anniversary almost certainly had 27" wheels (but could take 700c no sweat if you wish. I am sure these are not the original wheels. (The seller says "12-speed, ie 6 cogs but I only can see 5. The V has a 6 speed freewheel, 14-28 and the Anniversary a 5 speed, probably also 14-28. Differences that I can see: the V has a triple crankset and the Anniversary a double.

The bike you are thinking about, the 10th Anniversary is a '81 bike (I guessed '80 looking at it, but Fuji America started in 1971), the Touring Series V is virtually the same bike 3 years later.
