I'd be totally satisfied with $2-300. That's about what I was thinking.

...Well, the Origin-8 just has this mass-produced feel to it... it's hard to explain. I can't really afford a super nice handmade bike, so I'm thinking that by trading it for an older bike that I can fix up myself I would be able to make it truly mine... put it together myself and take care of every detail of the bike.

I also love the look of 1" tubes and the lugs... for some reason it just looks clean and the lugs are a great detail. And I've heard that Fuji made good bikes back then, and I just don't get the same feeling of long-lasting quality from the Origin-8.

Thanks for the reply
