Ok so I am unsure of the year of my new touring bike. I am sure it is a 1990 but it could very well be a 1989 so it kind of fits in this category. I just think that is is a beautiful bike and built just like all other great touring bikes I have been researching. I have always loved Fuji and I think they went over the top with this bike. I love vintage bikes that still provide a reliable if not better ride than some of the bikes being produced. It is true that they don't make them like they used to.

So here is my addition to the list... '89-'90 Fuji Saratoga



beautiful bike I must say... great steel with beautiful lugging detail, decent drivetrain, spare spoke holder on the chainstay, cantilevers, good rack mounts, good seat post and stem, good ergonomic alloy bars, bar ends, good pedals, etc.

Does anybody know about what this bike went for brand new? It is comparable to most bikes touring today and I only paid $220 so I think I win.
