Scott’s Fuji Sports 10

Posted

Scott is the proud new owner of this very workable Fuji Sports 10. I don’t know about you all, but I’ve never come home from vacation with anything as cool as this. As for it’s age, I’m thinking mid-70s, and I found this ad from 1976 on this guy’s page to back me up.

I was on vacation in rural Minnesota and biking through farm country when I stopped at a garage sale. There, to my amazement, for $2, I found what I have been looking for in California: a beaut of an old ten speed. Any help in identifying the year of this Fuji Sports 10 would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Scott

    I BOUGHT MY FUJI SPORTS 10 FOR $200 IN 1978. IT WAS A FORTUNE THEN FOR A BIKE.

    I still have my red Fuji SPorts 10, purchased for ~$150 in 1977 or 78 when my cheaper 10-speed was stolen from my dad’s garage. I didn’t use it for much for many years while in college and grad school, but for the last ~15 years I ride it maybe 1-4x weekly to work or for fun/exercise. It’s been a great bike, and I only recently replaced the original brake and shift cables. I also had to get a new rear wheel/derailleur and chain a few years ago as the rim was warped (probably hit a curb or something in the distant past) and the gear teeth were worn down. I replaced the original seat early on with a gel saddle as it was not very comfortable.

    Hi
    I have a red Fuji sports 10 speed as well. My dad told me he bought it new when he got out of the service in 1979 and he thinks he paid $150 or something like that for it.
    Its still a good bike although the 27 inch street tires are cracked and the back rim is bent.

    Just bought one for 8.00. Just put new tubes tires on it and Lubed the chain. Works like new.
    I don’t think it has ever been used…
    A lot of bikes are out there…just gotta know where to look…

    I am an original owner of a 1976 Fuji Sport 10 (green) that has the 27″ wheels. My frame has a stamp of “601”. I believe that it is the lug style high tension steel. The Bike is in great shape with all original parts. I do need new tires though. It was my first and best investment in a quality bike.

    How much do they go now? I am about to get one for $150 (needs tires, tubes, and a good clean up). After all that work how much I can sell it for? Thank you for your time!
