The S10-S was the type of bike to put a smile on your face within the first 30 feet, but I never bought one. I preferred riding Raleighs and Peugeots in the 70's and early 80's, and that was despite that they were not nearly as well made as Fujis.
Tom, you're right on all points. Because I'm not a competitive rider, ride quality to me is the closer I can get it to feel like an old familiar couch or leather chair the better. One thing about the S10-S is that I don't notice it while riding ... if that makes any sense.
