Looking at a used bike.

While perusing the bikes that are way out of my price range, I saw a bike they had on consignment at the local bike shop, Highlander Cycling Imports. It was an old Fuji 10 speed with the biggest steel frame possible and 36 spoke wheels for $150. I can tell the frame is steel (the owner had a magnet handy). I do not know just how old the bike is. What I could see is that it has a lot of parts that look familiar from my cycling experiences 25 years ago. The Fuji nameplate on the front of the head tube is riveted on, not a decal. It really looks like a truly vintage piece. The owner says they tune up the bikes they sell on consignment. The only changes from an old school road bike ore the straight handlebar.

I'm a pretty big guy, and this is a pretty big bike.

Question is this: Is this as good a deal as I think it is?
