I have the choice of two Fuji bikes. A 1973 S10-S Special Racer or a 1984 Sagres. The S10-S is a 5 out of 10 cosmetically, while the Sagres is an 8 out of 10. S10-S has a weathered Fujita Belt saddle, and is all original.

Cutting it kind of close to the wire, aren't you?

Unless the S-10 is cromoly (and it might be, if it is double-butted as the ad states), then I'd go with the Sagres, which is valite.

I see, this is a poll. Well, I'd give the advantage to condition, so I'd choose the Sagres.

Moot point now, I lost. I wasn't going to pay more than $75 anyway. I'll be up in Ft. Wayne tomorrow to pick up another bike, so I'll try to deal with the Sagres owner.

geekNo problem, because I'd choose the Sagres. ;)

Sagres, although it looked like the S10-S still had a nice saddle. I considered bidding just to get the saddle and components to fix up mine.

S-10 for the brooks saddle alone!
