Six speed freewheel, Suntour AR derailleurs, lugged steel (yeah baby), VALite 178 triple butted tubing, VALite lugged crown fork, Nitto stem and handlebar, Dia Compe sidepull brakes, suicide dual levers, stem-mounted Suntour shifters, 27 X 1-1/8 Ukai rims, Sansin hubs. Everything works; gears, brakes etc. Wheels are a little wobbly, but not that bad. The dropouts are angled, so I should be able to make it a Single Speed.
S/N from bottom of bottom bracket is SC529327. Can anyone tell me more about the bike? I'm guessing it's midrange. Nothing real special but not cheap crap. Definitely worth taking home and fiddling with.
Its a good mid-range Fuji. That AR deraleur is decent and will give you good service. The Sansin hubs are excellent (if they aren't worn out) quality hubs.
I have one that I ride everyday. Its a delightful riding bike. I keep my eye peeled in local shops for one in better original condition.
