From a coworker, I received a Fuji Bedford 3 speed, probably from the late '70s. Rust on bars and chain is terrible, but the wheels aren't bad. It was covered with pine needles, so I know how it was stored. Also a red Columbia ATV 10 speed. Both came with rear racks, so double score.

I quite like the Fuji. The labels proclaim it to be made of 1020 HT, which I assume is nothing special, but it is the same neat charcoaly/graphitey color as my Fuji Palisade, has decent-looking equipment, and the rear hub is not the Shimano 333, but the later, more troublefree series.

The cracked whitewalls need replacing. Anyone have any luck finding 26x1 3/8" whitewalls, or are they discontinued, as my LBS insists is the case?
