Can anyone tell me about the make/model of this bike:
SR Campus Sport

I think it was a road bike before being converted to fixed gear, but haven't been able to find anything about "SR" bikes on the net.

SR is stamped on components made by Sakae i think. I don't know if they made a bike. I don't know if it was a component grade or what. I'm just telling you where I've seen "SR" before. It may be the wrong tree. Hell, it may be the wrong forest. They are/were the second largest manufacturer of components behind Shimano.

Was or is this on Ebay? Looks like the guy from San Diego who sell 10 or so fixie conversions a week. Frame looks great, good geometry, and parts look fine.

cool, thanks!

yup, got it on ebay a week ago or so. He had a number of bikes, 54-61 cm type ranges, applecart2 i think his user id is. Anyhow, he's been pretty helpful and swift about payment, packaging and shipping to chicago.

Oh yeah, that's the applecart2 wall.

If it said "Fuji" would that help? I believe that it's basically the same thing, i think the same bikes were made in the same place and most likely in the same factory by the same people.

I could be wrong.

SR was Sakae Randner. I used to own one back in the mid to late 1970s. They were Japanese - also made components like bars, stems, cranks etc. They went away a long time ago, but I think someone may have revived the name since I have seen SR labeled components recently.

I believe it is/belongs to suntour. At least they are called SR Suntour.

They bought Suntour in the early (?) 90's. There's an excellent history of Suntour on line (I forgot the URL). It's an interesting read.
