Does anyone know what the proper seat post diameter is for an 80s Mt Fuji?

No one cares
i repurposed my '72 Fuji Finest to use as a "pool bike". I'm taking it to Washington DC with me this weekend (along with my son) so do some sightseeing.
i also like to cross chain my bikes.

This is a cross-post of sorts, from the November "Gr(e/a)y bikes" thread. Dude on CL was selling an '89 Del Rey in the "bike parts" section, just because the front wheel had been stolen. Did need more work, four broken spokes on the NDS (WTF?) on the rear, and generally unloved. Rear wheel might be a replacement; has a Shimano freewheel. But I got it for a song, and had a close-match 27" front wheel in the basement. Even came with the Blackburn rack.
Occurred to me, this was my first substantive ride on any drop-bar bike since before my surgery in 2015. And it was awesome! Haven't felt this good on a bike in years; I swear I'm getting MORE flexible as I approach 60. This is easily my biggest-framed bike, but with the relatively short top-tube for its size, it's a good fit.
Still has the Shimano freewheel, but the SunTour Accushift hit on all the click stops dead-on. No complaints about the Blaze/Edge brakes. Nothing's gonna make this bike flashy, but it gets right down the road.
That's my wife's Giant Innova behind it; hybrid bike based on the "Squadron" road bike sold in Europe. She kept right up. In the background, you see just a bit of a pristine '91-ish Trek 850, ridden by a woman with a braided pony tail down to h... er... down past her waist. A lot of people here just ride what they have, with no idea that they have a C&V bike with a following.
Got home JUST before a line of thunderstorms came through.

I decided to swap in a narrow range 7-speed freewheel. So far, so good.

I camped with my family at Sleeping Bear Dunes as a kid, gotta be 50 years ago now. The dunes were a blast; no bike path back then.
Those ads must be from Traverse City.

Amazing area of Michigan, The ad is from a circa 1977 bicycling book that was at the B&B we were staying at. We used to go up there in the 1990s to early 2000s.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out what year this bike is? I assume it’s a Del Rey from the late 90s but from what I read those were TIG welded? Also the logo doesn’t look right for those years.

The style of the Fuji graphics let me know it was late eighties/early nineties. I searched in that year range and found a photo of a 1991 that matched it.

Recently completed my 1981 Fuji America. I picked this up from a flipper who got it from the original owner, his Pastor. Notice the original TrimLine tires, pump and bottle still on from when it was new, I always love those touches. I will be riding this on a fairly regular basis now that photos are complete, and after I true the wheels and change the tires. I did take it out for about 10 miles as-is; notice cracking in tires, yikes! Rides wonderful though and fits my 6'5" frame very well.
P.S. Yes, I love catalog correct, down to the reflectors and dork disc.
