Not a good picture, but from what I can tell, I'm guessing it's a '72-73 model. If so, they came with: DiaCompe centerpull brakes (the Weinmann copies) and levers, SunTour V rear derailleur (short arm, 26 tooth limit), Compe-V (reverse action) front derailleur, SunTour rachet Powershifters with black covers, SunTour freewheel (a lot of them came with 14-19 corncobs), Sugino crankset (the one that's the copy of the Campagnolo Nuevo Record down to chainwheel interchangability), Sunshine hubs (look like Normandy), sew-up rims (can't remember the brand, my bike was converted to clinchers by the previous owner), Nitto Dynamic stem (exposed bolt), Nitto bars, can't remember the name of the seatpost but it's a copy of the Nuevo Record, Fuji branded saddle (hard plastic with a leather cover).

Afraid I can't help on the pedals. When I found mine, the pedals were so rusted out that I just tossed them. Weren't worth saving.
