That Brooks saddle, if in good condition, is worth $100 in itself. If the bike is your size and doesn't need much to get running, get it. Fujis are solid bikes.

If the thing works pretty well as is and doesn't need a bunch of parts or repairs that is a good buy. I have a 1980 Fuji S12-S that is very similar to this and it is a good, solid bike.

In a big market, it should be gone already.

The saddle is likely a Fujita "Belt", which still fetches between $45 and $60 depending on condition. They are very nice saddles.

Good riding bike...hope that he got it.

The saddle is torn on the top and sides

Yikes. That knocks quite a bit off of the resale value, but doesn't hurt the rideability of the bike for you. Did you buy it?

I called the guy today, he sold the bike today. I was going to purchase it too, its sucks

SteamDonkey74 09-07-12 04:22 PM

Well, keep an eye out. Like I said, I have a Fuji S12-S and it is a good, solid bike.

Really nice bikes. If another one comes up, go for it.

Two days later after OP. In a larger area, decent vintage bikes at the $100 mark are not going to last two days.

Don''t feel bad, I've learned this lesson the hard way myself. Many on this list have.
