-Fuji Espree mixte: ~50cm center to top seat tube
-12 speed
-visually the frame looks almost identical to this photo. It has the same metallic gray paint, same decal colors etc. The downtube decal however has a smaller "FUJI" ... ie: FUJIESPREE

-Frame serial on bb: SC335940
-Frame material: "Fuji Valite Butted Tubing 414"
-Fork steerer tube stamped "Tange 2L"
-Front Derailleur: Suntour AR - date code "YJ" (Oct 1982?)
-Rear Derailleur: Suntour AR - date code "ZD" (Apr 1983?)
-Crank: Sugino something - double 52/42- right arm marked "S 170 GC 5" (March 1982?)
-left arm marked "S 170 GC 3" (March 1982)
-circular mold code on inside of chainring marked "324"
-Rear sprockets: Suntour Perfect - marked "YD" (April 1982?)
-Rear Hub: Sunshine - marked 5345 A
-Front Hub: Sunshine - marked 5345 R
-Sunshine front quick release skewer
-Suntour stem shifters
-Dia Compe Deluxe sidepull brakes
-not sure if stem is original...markings worn.... possibly "JiH or JiN" "22.2"
-handlebars and brake levers are not original - some sort of steel 3 speed cruiser bars
-Bottom Bracket spindle is marked "3T" and "L303"
-headset unmarked as far as i can see

I completely stripped the frame except for the fork crown bearing race and top headset bearing race and attempted to weigh it:
frame: ~2902 grams or ~6.4lbs
fork: ~882 grams or ~1.9lbs

I'm not new to bikes but I am new to reconditioning old bikes so I have some upgrade path questions but I'll save those for a different thread. Hope this helps.
