Hello, Newbie here
Does anyone have a Fuji catalog or know anything about a vintage Fuji Olympic, when it was made and how many types etc. I can't find much info on it though.
Thanks

This looks to be Asian market model, with which I'm not familiar. However, the serial number should provide the exact frame manufactured date.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Olympic was a series name used in the Japan domestic market way back when, and likely was also exported to local Asian markets. USA spec was entirely different than Japanese domestic spec.

I have dim memories of looking through a domestic Japanese-language catalog in the early '80s, surprised at how many "Olympic" bikes were in the line, and also how different the bikes, and therefore the market, were from the US. They might have used Olympic on all the road performance, non-touring models.

I figured it was Asian market based on the lamp bracket on the right fork blade, for a country where they drive on left. It's more of light touring bicycle, with cantilever brakes, fenders, front rack and alighting system. It falls short of grand touring, with only a double crankset, a single bottle boss set and no mounts for a rear rack (the front rack mounts to the cantilever studs - might be aftermarket).
