A number of changes to the 1981 Fuji S12S - replaced the Sugino XD 600 crankset with a more appropriately vintage Sugino Super Maxy 34/48T double. Apparently these TA Pro Vis clones are not all that...

Ready for the road!

One of the longer, slower builds I've ever done but maybe that's appropriate considering the intended use of this bike. Campy 8 speed group with Racing Triple RD. My willow triplized Campy crank...
