The Fuji it the big "4" "0"
Just wanted to celebrate one of my bike's turning 40! It could lose a little weight, but it is still in really good shape!

Congrats! My oldest is just a couple years removed from being forty. I’m looking forward to saying, “Yep, it’s forty years old.”

My newest road bike (see signature) will turn 40 around the end of this year. The Capos are all past age 60, and the Carlton turns 60 sometime next year. The Passat wagon is now 20 years old, and I am keeping it as long as I reasonably can. The house turns 50 in about 3 years. I just replaced a 25-year-old gas range. The gas dryer is 20 years old. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it is broke, fix it and keep it.

Half my bikes are older than me by a few years. I just turned 33 last week and I'm already feeling I need a tune up before my bikes do lol

She doesn't look a day over 39, cycleheimer. Just this week I acquired a 1981 Fuji America, which I am pretty excited about. By coincidence I have several bikes from 81.

I just bought a '76 America. It's my next project. Needs alot of TLC, but is complete right down to the SunTour bar cons. The early '80s America's are really nice!

My oldest is 47 now. Freebie Fuji Grand Tourer from last year in the coolest shade of green. The rest of the pack is in their mid 30s. Cool bike!

My oldest is 35, for it's 30th it received a 2x10 upgrade... Before it turns 40, I may repaint it. But nobody makes replacement graphics...
