Right on

That orange looks awesome in the sunlight - but be careful of looking down at the gorgeous paint while riding! Don't want to end up being someone's temporary hood ornament or worse

Ouch

You're right - helmets make us invincible. So much I've learned from watching the Strava acolytes on the roadways with their modern whips

I love what you've done with the old Fuji. You're helping make the old Japanese bikes more valuable. I've got an old Fuji Special Road Racer out in the garage right now. Here's a picture of the down tube.

HAHA! Poprad is my monicker because back in '05 when I joined that was my only bike. 13+ bikes later the mis-sized Poprad is long gone. And it was black.
