Bikes: Was Fuji and got my grails (Pro, Pro SR, Design Series, & Ti). Now I hunt 50's/60's road bikes.

Yes, there are a few Fuji restorers here on the site. As said above, Robatsu has been working on building a Gran Tourer SE into a daily rider for a little while, while Scottryder and myself also collect them. They are great old bikes.

Here is a link to Robatsu's blog, if you are interested in looking at what he has done with his bike, along with several others.

Using the pictures that you posted, I am assuming that this is your bike.

You could verify that by looking up the serial number at the link below.

I've been working on a '73 Special Road Racer, which is a comparable model and I love it. I even decided to keep the steel rims.

Best of luck with the bike. It is a beauty.
