I stumbled across a great deal on my '89 Fuji Saratoga a couple of years ago. Seems to be an underappreciated model.

I find it to be a great all-around bike, and very comfortable. I use it mostly for commuting, but it handles full loads just fine. Ishiwata triple butted tubing, front and rear rack braze-ons, cantilevers, Accushift bar end shifters, spare spokes on the chainstay, and three bottle mounts. My only concern is that there doesn't seem to be much room for a front fender, at least with the 27x1-1/4 Pasela I've been running. I like the Touring Series paint better, but my Saratoga is a keeper.
