https://classicfuji.com/ ? All roads lead to dead ends.

I do not know anything about Asian bikes and have always kinda avoided them. Then a League Fuji pops up on CL and its my size. fitted with Suntour LePree, Nitto and Dia Compe. I paid diddle for it and I am to embarrassed to say an actual amount.

So today I hit the internet looking for Fuji catalogues and I find a bunch of links taking me to classicfuji.com. Catalogues from '71 thru '91, OMG what luck!
Only to find all the links dead.

Is there another good resource for Fuji information?

How can you be a "Bike Boom Addict" and avoid Asian bikes !!??

I don't know much about Fuji, but that one looks like it will make for a pretty bike. Hopefully the classicfuji site is just experiencing technical difficulties, it would be a major loss if it's gone.

There are several members of the "Fuji Class" that hang around here and loaded with a wealth of knowledge.

Classic Fuji is working fine for me.

https://classicfuji.com/index.html

https://classicfuji.com/League_1986_Page.htm

https://classicfuji.com/1985_11_League_Page.htm

Note, decal work does not quite match either one of these. But both years had the LePree derailleurs.

I can't get it on IE or Chrome either.

wrk101 probably knows the secret password!

Not working for me on a Mac in Safari or Firefox. The PC is off. Maybe try it later. Bill does know the secret password.

Looks like its back up. Probably an issue with their hosting company.

Mac with Firefox and it's always worked for me. Some of these local sites just go offline every once in awhile - I've seen it at bulgier.net and trfindley.com on occasion. Should work for you now though.

Working for me now also.
SN: FJ413323
So its was made in October of 1984 and sold as a '85 Model per Classic Fuji's information. The DT decal matches decals for '84 so I just assume they were using up left over decals before switching to the new decals.
Thanks everybody for the input.
Mystery solved.
I picked up a 1985 Fuji League. TaDa!
