Very nice, I guess that makes us twin brothers now. I too have a all original NOS condition 84 Club. Though mine has the Suntour ARX derailleurs, can't tell in the photo but your's looks to be the Cyclone?
See this if you haven't already:
http://classicfuji.com/1984_10_ClubFuji_Page.htm It gives the specs for the 84. The only "error?" I've found with the specs is the total weight is at 23 pounds, for some reason mine which is a 58 size weighs at 20.8, I weighed it three times, twice at home with just the bike then with me holding the bike, then a bike shop in town weighed it and we both came out the same within an 1/8th of a pound. Weigh yours sometime and let me know what your scale says. It's the lightest steel bike in my collection.
Also does your bike have two sets of water bottle bosses or just one set on the down tube and none on the seat tube like mine?
If your's have the Cyclone you may have gotten a end of the 84 model production because in 85 Fuji does switch to Cyclone which quite frankly is better then the ARX that's on mine.
