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.
