By the way, this is going on a 1990 Fuji Saratoga I picked up a while back for not much money. I love the bike, but am not happy with the drivetrain. I knew it was cheap (that's 1990, cheap components on a super nice frame, total opposite of today) but I didn't know how much I wouldn't like it. I wouldn't go touring with this drivetrain.

I think the frame is at least on par with a Surly LHT, and probably even better. The bike looked like it had about 20 miles on it when I bought it, but I've had to put some money into it for tires, etc. It's a *very* comfortable ride and fits me perfectly.

By the way, any thoughts on whether a nice Fuji frame from 1990 would use an ISO or JIS headset? I'm not sure I'll replace it, it's not giving me any problems, but I'd like to know.
