Fuji Team Restored
 
Whenever my wife has us run errands or visit family more than 10 miles from our home, I do a quick scan of the marketplaces to see what might be interesting to purchase. In March, I came across these Facebook pictures.

Okay, wow, A lot to digest from these photos. The handlebar situation, water bottle mounted higher, rat-trap pedals, the saddle position, a rear rack, and a 56T chainring. The headset had been upgraded to Dura Ace for some reason.
The price was fair and upon pick up, I learned the seller's father used to ride centuries on this bicycle, but he was now in his 80's and not riding. I did not want to be rude asking any follow up questions.

Finally, I had time and made a decision to keep this mostly stock (different stem, bars, seat post). I like to ride bicycles a couple times before wrapping the bars and I may go with a longer stem (120 vs 105) to better fit me. 1997 Fuji Team details from BikePedia.

interesting setup of original bike, but after looking at it while not "conventional" dude had it set up to work for him.

3 hand positions, really in the drops, on the hoods and the aero bar
