Trying to price a vintage Fuji - can anyone help?
7 Attachment(s)
I'd like to sell a bike that was in my Uncle's attic but don't know anything about it. I believe it's from the 1980's. The tires are flat and there is some rust on the chain. Can anyone tell me what the model is and a fair price I should sell it for? I believe all of the parts are original.

FMV as shown, $80 +/-$20. The Belt leather saddle is worth $35-$40 on it's own.

With the Belt saddle, cottered crank, & graphics, I'd put that bike in the early 70's. At least 40 years old and, probably older than that. It's a very appealing vintage Japanese item. If you find the right buyer you might get $100 for it. Maybe more. Don't count on selling it to a casual rider though. Look for somebody that wants an antique.

I think it's a 1974 Fuji S-5L in Cream White http://www.classicfuji.com/1974_08_S-5L_Page.htm
The model appears again a year later but with evolved graphics (FUJI is in a different font on a panel on the seat tube). Thanks for taking plenty of pictures! |
Thanks for all the insights on the bike! I very much appreciate them!

One was on Ebay for 450.00 and removed by the seller. Probably made a deal with a buyer around October 2016 Hope this helps |
Thanks much! That is very helpful!
