I concur with ZONATANDEM. The Del Ray was a 1980s model. I have specs for 1984-1986 and it cost $300-350 US. It's a bit arbitrary on where to draw the line between different levels, but I'd call this upper, entry level. At best, it's lower mid-range. All these version used Fuji's own Valite, quad-butted tubing and various SunTour/Sugino/Dia-Compe component mixes. The 1986 version did have a triple chainring, which would explain your touring description.

The Del Ray was in Fuji line-up in 1990, but by then was a hybrid. I guess that is consistent with it's traditional place in the line-up. It seems that the old entry level recreational bicycles became the hybrids.
