Fuji did do a great job on those upper level bikes; nicely lugged frames, drilled out components and with the Ace model, the first fully equipped Dura Ace bike (came in orange only).
Rode a Fuji Finest for several years; fully chromed frame with a very thin dark blue paintjob (other color choice was white) makng it look almost translucent and the lugs were full chrome. Nice stuff!
Well, according to my wife's memory she bought the bike new in '75. It has Valite tubing (double butted I think if I read the decal correctly) and is a 12 speed (also a 12 Speed decal on the chain stay).
