Here is an 85 I am working on. Both front and rear DOs are marked Fuji. The BB is a Hatta. 2nd one I have encountered. First is on an 88 Ironman. The Flamingo paint is bright, almost neon. Notice outside friendly/fixed/feral kitty that is friends with my office kitty. She will come in from time to time if the door is open and you keep your distance. I call her Mrrr. That's the sound she makes.

BTW, forums had "like" (or similar) options long before Spy-book.

Look for a new "LIKE" button in the lower left of any post.

What is the rear spacing on the OP's bike? This one has 124mm spacing. Seems to be a little late for transitional spacing.

Well, at the current moment, the rear spacing measures 128mm. But, it has a 130mm rear hub. I figure it was 124mm, but has had the wider hub spread it out. A bit tight to get in and out, but it works.

My '83 Fuji team ride is still a sweet ride. Paint is blue and yellow highlights but has a great geometry. Rides like a dream.
