The Fuji S10S and S12S was the start of the downfall of U.S. bike companies that made lighweights. They showed that the Japanese could make a far superior (good quality components) and lighter product at a competative price. It was the beginning of the end for many U.S. bike companies (i.e. Schwinn). I remember my girlfriend bought one in 1982 then ran into the back of me at the SC coast and bent her wheel.
