mine is missing the two ribbons of unknown color (one above and below the 'fuji' decal) on the seat tube as shown in this catalog photo. what are your suggestions for duplication? i think green would look good.

the bike also had shimano 600 calipers, different from the catalog. i replaced the dia compe levers with shimano 600 to match.

looking at the catalog, the club was new in '84, but was upgraded (like you said) in '85 with cyclone components. but if you'll notice, the 'league' model was introduced in '85 also, which seems rather similar to the '84 club. so it appears they added a model above this '84 model the next year and changed the name of this bike to 'league.' i'd kinda like to know more about all that.

the '84 team model was the first to have aero levers. the '85 club bike has aero also, but the 'league' in that year still has the non-aeros -- weird.
