2. Fuji Opus - will get new tires and rim tape. Replace Modolo brakes. The bike will also need a tune-up and regreasing.
3. Fuji Special Road Racer - just got new racks and will probably be getting fenders soon. I'm considering new wheels, but I really like 27" wheels and the hubs currently on the bike.
4. Fuji America frame - may build it up and sell, may take part in Velo Cheapo, may sell the frame/fork. I just won this a few days ago, with the original intent to scavenge the crankset, but now I am wondering about options for it.
That Fuji America sounds interesting.
For me:
1. 1972 Fuji special road racer. Built new wheels with the old hubs. Tracked down some parts at the local bicycle co-op. Replaced all bearings, except the pedals. Just need to put it all back together again.
I seem to have developed what writers call a block. If I finish this bike, I'll want to get another fixer upper.
Maybe I have enough bikes.
