Bianchirider!’s Liberated 1982 Fuji Team Fuji

Posted

We love to hear about OTS owners bolting their derailers back on and letting their bicycles live as God intended, and that is exactly what we have with today’s OTS.  This is Bianchirider!’s recently liberated 1982 Fuji Team Fuji.  Perfect down to the toe straps.

Found the frame on Ebay. The frame spent a few months as a fixed gear bike unitl I came to my senses. Found a complete group of Shimano 600 “arabesque” components, built new wheels, and put it all together. Took a while to get use to friction shifting.

Thanks Bianchirider!

    My dad’s friend gave my father this exact same model bike because he didn’t want it anymore. It sat at my dads shop for a week while I worked for him and all I could do was admire it. That weekend my dad had a sell and had that Team Fuji sitting outside for sell for 10 dollars. I grabbed the bike and took it back inside and told my dad I wanted it. Best thing I ever did. Got new tubes and ride it every chance I get. Such a beautiful bike.

    Any idea how much this bike is worth? I picked one up the other day for super cheap. No plans to sell. Just curious.
