Hugh Has Another Gem: Fuji Monterey

Posted

Ok, back to bikes.

Our friend Hugh is hard at it once again. This time his entry is this Fuji Monterey he rescued from the scrap yard.

Hey Cameron,
While dropping-off some left-over building materials at a friends, who I know will put them to good use. I was telling him about how I have been restoring old bikes (mostly road racers). He says great! “I got one over there you can have, I just picked it up for scrap”. That is how I came to own this Fuji Monterey. And as luck would have it I had just picked-up a mixte that just happened to have a leather Fuji Saddle. I was pleased to see the bike had actually been “re-greased” at some point. The crank was so smooth I did not take it apart.

Thanks again Hugh

    I found this exact bike abandoned in my basement 10 years ago by a former tenant. I still ride it. What year do you guess it was made?

    There’s a sticker on it from Worcester, MA.

    I was thinking of getting a new bike, is it worth keeping this one?

    Thanks!
