Fuji Sagres worth the money?
Can't find much on the Fuji Sagres.
I have seen one on CL for $85 (https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/bik/1434984090.html)
and one for $140 (https://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/bik/1433529347.html).
Are either of those decent deals?
There is a Fuji Pulsar for $150 and a Fuji Supreme for $140.
My partner has a Fuji Ace we bought for $150 and she really likes it, so that's why I am looking at Fujis.
Sorry if I am being dense, but I am new to this and I don't want to waste money. Thanks for the help

Go to the classic Fuji site.
https://www.classicfuji.com/
Note, the really good deals are not going to last long.
That small Sangres is a deal, its in a small size too which are hard to find. It looks like a 1986 which was improved over earlier models. I would be in my car driving to pick it up right now.
One Sangres is for someone about 5-2. the other for someone 6 foot tall. BTW, the other one is an older model, not quite as nicely built as the 1986 model.
The Pulsar and Supreme are so so deals.

I agree. if you need a small frame and that one fits it is a great deal. I don't remember selling alot of the Sagres, we were pushing a Univega at the price, but as I recall they were nice bikes. the pulsar was a lower end model
that big Sagress requires a rider over 6' and it is way overpriced IMHO

Wow! That's a huge swing in frame sizes from about the smallest they made to the largest. The 2nd one looks like a 60cm to me and suitable for someone 6'1" or more. I remember seeing quit a few of the Sagres selling around the major colleges here. The Sagres in on the lower end of the Fuji line-up as I recall. 80's Fujis are still fairly desirable bikes in the SF Bay Area. 85 would be a steal for a nice steel bike if it fit, was clean, and everything worked. 140 would also sell fairly quickly here, I'm not sure about Arlington though.

Your comparing a bike for a man over 6'7" to one for a person 5'6" or less.
Sangres are OK, the big one is a full price, high considering that it's huge.
The smaller one is lower priced than avg., a VG good deal for a short person.
