Fuji Suncrest Mountain Bike
1 Attachment(s)
I bought this bike new in the mid-80s, don't remember when exactly, but your post helped me. At first I rode it a bunch and even raced it, but then it just sat around as I moved several times and ran instead. I had to quit running 6 mos ago (knee injury from playing college football) and started riding it on 10 or 15 mi jaunts 5 to 7 days a week. I wouldn't trade it straight up for a new mountain bike. Attached is a file with decode info and a picture of it. All I've done to it is switch out to a new seat, add a water bottle bracket, add new tires, add a tire pump and turned the shifting and braking systems - otherwise it's totally original except for scratches. Thanks for the info in this thread!

I just bought a 1977 Juji with the serial number "77I00082" from the original owner.

I have an older Fuji America frameset on hand that seems to contradict the ser# scheme a bit?
Ser# is FL9183xx, and it is definitely an early, pre-'81 model year bike, with no top tube brake housing braze-ons, and the same minimum braze-on compliment of the '78-'80 models. I had and sold an identical-spec '80 America frame some years back, ser# FG010xx, with the "0" in FG0 pretty clearly matching '80 production/model year. So I think the "9" in FL9 has to represent 1979 production, Dec '79 specifically. Can't see any way the "9" could represent '89 production. Maybe there was a transition from using the last two digits of the western calendar year during '79? Sorry that I don't have any photos of the '79 frame yet, but here's the '80 in a complete build: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...773b3936d5.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...f70d094950.jpg |
1979 Fuji Gran Tourer?
Hi there,
I'm trying to decode the 5th character in this serial number (the one that looks like a backwards 'C'). At first I thought it might be a 'J', but based on the format posted here (thanks for putting together this amazing resource, btw!), it ought to be a number. It doesn't look like it's been scratched off or compromised in any way, and I'm feeling rather dumb for possibly overlooking something obvious, but I can't for the life of me figure out what the number might be. A 3? Seems odd that they wouldn't use the right half of an 8 for a 3, though. Posting here in hopes that others have encountered the same, and can figure this out better than I! Apologies that I don't have much other info to share - I don't know much about bikes and just picked this up at my local co-op! **I'm new and haven't posted enough on the forum to be allowed to post pictures, but I'll follow up with a couple once I am able to!** |

I got this Fuji S12-S from my local bike shop after they hosted a vintage build-a-bike clinic. It has been repainted and has homemade decals, but most of the original parts are there. I went through it enough to do a test ride before I tear it back apart for fresh paint and decals. Serial number FL012798. Database indicates late 1980, but several parts have 1981 date stamps, so I'm going with 1981 model.

Serial number format WXYZZZZZ where; W = a letter, presumibly indicating a Fuji facility or contractor. To date, samples have included F, I , J, K & S. X = a letter, indicating the calendar month of manufacturer (A = January, B = February, C = March, etc) Y = a number, indicating the last digit of the calendar year of manufacture (0 = 1980, 1 = 1981, 2 = 1982, etc.) ZZZZZ = a five digit number sequence, probably indicating frame number during month Example: FB125349 indicates the 25,349th frame manufactured during February 1981. *The serial number format may extend beyond 1980-1987, in either direction, but to date, data samples lie within this range. F- Factory (likely Fuji) H - August (possibly made for the next model year) 0- 1980 09082 - 9,082nd frame made that month Made in 1980, possibly sold as an '81 Royal https://classicfuji.posthaven.com/19...dot-11-edition |

Flea Market find
Can't post pics as I am a noob.
I picked up a Fuji 12 speed at a flea market for $10. Seller said he bought it new in mid-late 80's. It's a little scratched up and grimy, but rides great and is road-ready. Here are it's specs: Serial number: F6606520 Dia-Compe brakes and levers Suntour LaPree hubs, derailleurs, shift levers SP-KC seat post I'm curious about the year/model number, and if any of the parts I've listed are original Thanks! |
I have scoured my 1990 Palisade for a SN and can’t find one. It was a low-end offering so maybe it wasn’t worth a SN. It’s still useful for light errands. Posting here because it’s a slow Sunday.

1972 Finast available
Hi all. I have a Fuji Finest, serial number K7A00605. From the database, it was made in Jan 1972. I've had it since 1977. I don't ride it anymore, and would like to offer it to anyone here who wants it.
Let me know if anyone is interested. I posted some pictures a while ago in post #305 if you want to take a look Thanks, ~~Brownie |
Saratoga
Just acquired this Fuji Saratoga. Sorry to say the frame is bent, down tube right behind the head tube. Looks like its been well used. Brooks Pro saddle, bar end shifters. Has spare spokes on the left chain stay. Dark blue.
Serial F11225962 1991 the bike came in "rainbow blue" that seems to match. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...14b5032d86.jpg Fuji Saratoga https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...8b9457f247.jpg Fuji Saratoga |

Thanks for asking. I put it on the Park stand and finally eyeballed it more closely. It is F7C00196. I have corrected it in my earlier post.

Signing in with serial # FE401420!
I was looking for a new project, specifically a mid-'80s road bike, in fair condition to bring back to life. Scouring Offerup, Craigslist & Facebook Marketplace, this '84 Fuji Del Rey came up. It is certainly dirty, missing a seatpost & saddle but otherwise very straight with clean paint and with mostly all original parts. My plan is to teardown the whole bike, clean, grease & reassemble. This is the oldest bike I've purchased and look forward to building it back up. Below are all the pics as it was today when I brought it home. Lots of work to get going on!
