I have a 1986 League Fuji that is in very very good shape. All original and in the silver finish. It is a little tall for me so I was thinking of selling it off as I have a few bikes now that are a bit smaller and fit me better.

I have it set up with a Nitto R14 rear rack, a brooks honey saddle and brooks leather wrap in matching honey.

I can set it back to original with original seat and keep all of the extras unless it will really boost the sale price up. Considering that it's over $200 worth of extras my guess is that it will not raise the price up enough to justify throwing it in. (Although all of them make it look amazing).

So what do you think it would sell for 100% stock and how much in it's current setup.

I even have the original manual that went with it when it was sold.

Edited to add: Here is a link to the catalog page for the model so you can see all of the specs. It is quad butted Valite.

$200 or so in really clean, rust free, ready to ride condition (without the extras). Take off the Brooks seat, you can either keep it or sell separately. Ditto the leather bar tape as well as the rack. All will be throw ins when you sell the bike (maybe you will get a few dollars more for the bike), or can command good money on ebay sold individually.

That is exactly what I thought about the seat and rack and such. It might get me a few extra bucks but not nearly enough to justify their cost separately. I will put the bike back to stock.

+1. Whenever I sell a bike I strip everything and remove anything of siginifcant value. Most people will sit on the Brooks and hate it. Cushy seats sells!!!!
