mixte found

My mixte search is over, a 1984 fuji espree with valite tubing, fresh out of storage from cl. I only had time for a quick photo, weight, 28.5lbs, and find sticky brakes and shifters, before putting it away. It will need a longer 25.8 seatpost and quill stem. I plan to get the cables moving, repack the hubs and bb, this week and see how it goes.

Superbe quality bike ! Clean and regrease everything and your bike will be running for another 20 years. Ah, the quality of Japanese made bikes.

I love that color and would happily buy a Fuji mixte. I already have 2 Miyatas & a Nishiki mixte. Guess I like mixtes. Please do post updates & photos of your work. You never know who you might inspire or help.
