My bike was/is a 1975 Fuji Trans America touring bike, still have it, it was named after the cross country route. It is a rare model, cost about $350 then, a little less than custom bikes then.
Does your bike look like this? The Fuji America came out in 1975 for the first time I believe. You should post pics of your bike in the C&V forum and talk about your ride. These are neat bikes.
