I'm curious about the hierarchy of Fuji models then (particularly touring bikes) and what tubing was used in them. I have my eye on a Del Rey and heard that it was in the middle to upper range of Fuji touring bikes 25 years ago. I'm grateful for any insight into these questions. Thanks.
Time to resurrect an old thread because I found at least part of the answer to this question (and no, I haven't been searching all this time...
