Welcome! you're off to a good start, that's a nice bike. It will be well appreciated here, there's a lot of suntour/fuji love around. Get well soon and enjoy the ride.

Great looking Fuji! Welcome to the forum.

Nice Ride!

Welcome to the forum, too.

I also have an '81 Fuji (S12-S Ltd.).

Yeah, there's a bunch of Fuji love around here.

Glad to see you here at C&V, you built a really nice Fuji, enjoy it. Hope the doctor's release comes for you soon. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, poster and CD. it can get old real fast.

Hope You're Riding Soon
 

Three vintage Fuji bikes here (that I ride regularly), plus a 1981 Special Tourer SE on the workstand right now for a friend, and a 1985 Sagres in the queue for refurb soon. Hoping that you're "cleared hot" to ride yours soonest. Phil G.

Thanks guys! Ya got my shoulder rebuilt after a dirt bike ran away with me on it, but things are on the mend. just weighed the bike came in a 24.6 lbs. Super excited on that. I was hoping for a sub 25 lb bike. My other being an 80's Schwinn world sport. The Fuji is A LOT lighter.

Welcome to the forum. Best thread title I've seen in a while. Nice bike.

Welcome to C&V. Great community here. Beautiful Fuji!

Looks like you've got a good combination of old and new going on there. I'll chime in with some of that Suntour love - I've got Mk II shifters/derailleurs on one of my favorites, and they work great (all the more so with a modern cassette). Scheming another Suntour-heavy build, too. Great stuff.

When I caught your username, prior to scrolling to the mention of a dirt bike incident, I was worried that the damage had been done in the pit...

Best for a swift recovery.

nice cycle..

looking good.

Welcome to the forum.

Really like your Fuji.
Hope the hurts from your crash are all mended soon & you are enjoying some great riding on it.

What bar tape is that?

Just a natural cork tape. Was hoping that it would be a little darker to match the seat but oh well.

Just wondering if you were the same dude from RS25. Another Subaru guy here.

I stay racked out-

Welcome to the forum. My bike mentor drives a WRX turbo.
He's a little ticked Pastrana is moving to the Dodge Dart.

Welcome to the forums "neighbor"! Yes the Boise Bike Project does rock! You have done well with the Fuji. Oh and I've driven Subarus for the last twenty years...;-)

Cheers,
