Tom R’s 1973 Fuji Finest

Posted

While we’re on the topic of 1973 Fujis, here is Tom R’s Finest contribution. Just when you thought you’d seen the bottomest of bottomed-out saddles, Tom’s takes it to a whole other (lower) level.

Tom, doesn’t running 23″ rims make braking a little difficult? Or did you mean 28“? Would also love to see some closeups of the lugs, crown and stem.

1973 Fuji Finest with original sew-ups on Arc-en Ciel rims. Have also run 23″ Ukai rims. A beautiful ride either way.
Extended Italian handlebar stem is not original. Everything else is.
Tom R.

Thanks Tom

    That is one good looking Fuji.Reminds me of a Schwinn
    Paramount. I hope I run across one of these someday. Or
    a Schwinn Paramount with the chrome lug work. That is such a cool look.

    I have one of these too! Swapped the Ukai sew ups for Mavic clinchers. I used to ride TOSRV in the 1980’s and saw quite a few blue ones but only one other white. They were always in the front of the ride! Lotsmof great memories.
