Got the Club Fuji all washed up, and put the stock style drillium Dia Compe brake levers back on it, with new housing for the rear. I was being frugal, so I cut the rear for the front, and bought a new long piece for the rear. It had aero levers before, and the housing came up short. I also put on the new to me $5 Nitto stem(after a bead blast and polish) and changed the bars to Road Champions from the Sakae Modolo patent ergo bars. The wrap has been on it for a year or two, and I rewrapped it. When I find some yellow bike ribbon, I will wrap it over. This lizards skinz is odd feeling, but looks better than cork for the application, and is easier to keep clean.,,,,BD

Funny, pics of this bike STILL do not show the extent of rust around the lugs, etc. Got the paint, just waiting for velocals to come through with a decal set before I repaint. Also weird how this bike has such a long head tube for the size. The brake clearance with these 25's is almost nil, and the fork crown also has low clearance. The bike is around a 59/60, but the head tube makes it look like a 63 or larger, because the fork crown makes the down tube lower than "normal".
