Mentioned this one in the bikes bought from the CL thread..

1990 Fuji Ace with mish-mash modern 10 speed parts. Shimano BR451 brakes, Tiagra (brifters), Ultegra (rear mech), 105 (front mech), Sram Rival (cranks + bb), Tange Levin hs, UNO seatpost Specialized saddle, MOST (Pinarello) stem, Shimano Pro bars..

This was my backup bike that I ended up riding more frequently than my nice bike. A friend's boyfriend was out of work but wanted a bike so they could maybe start riding together. He had never had a road bike before.

He LOVED riding it and once he was re-employed, he bought a new-to-him bike -also from Craigslist. He passed the Fuji on to his son who LOVED it but outgrew it (his son is a 6'06" 16 year old high school sophomore who is still growing...). The son is gifting it to one of his basketball teammates. This bike went unridden for the first 23 years of its life. It has made up for it since.
