Its a touring frame made by fuji in 1990 thats nearly identical to their touring bike that year.

As for the stem....its a touring bike so function over form every time.
Itd be nice if conversion stems had a flat bottom where you could add spacers to help reduce the obvious change.
Ive thought about using a Nitto Dynamic II stem as its a 0degree, but the reach only seems to be 120mm and i would been to use compact bars so thats an $80 change due to needing new stem and bars. Not really looking to pay that much just for a look.
And i know Technomic stems are popular for getting bars up higher, but i loathe the very tall quill stem look. Just not at all appealing.


Pretty sure ill change the setup to a Dynamic stem and compact bars eventually, but the current setup works too well to make it a priority.
