1975 Fuji S 10-S (Special Road Racer)...another!

[HARPO]

All done. I didn't go as crazy as usual, but it came out nice, and will be flipped shortly. Someone will just need to add tires and replace the tattered tape.

cleaned up nicely. Has a bike-boom-college-campus look about it

Looking superfine HARPO!

Great work and alacritous as well.

With three sacred mountains taken in within short order you could open a dealership.

Can see the signage now..."Fred's Floral Park Fuji Faire"

Thanks for the link. Cool article on a great bike that was undervalued at the time.

They made one for a couple of years in all black, maybe to be like the Cannondale Black Lightning (I have one) which looks very cool.

Can faintly recall seeing one of the all-black Ace models BITD

IIRC it was fitted with the black finish version of the Shimano DuraAce road ensemble.

At launch, the DuraAce ensemble was not complete as there was no headset, pedals or rear mech.

The Crane rear mech served and it was necessary to fit headset and pedals from other component makers to finish out the machine...

All best wishes to "Fred's Floral Park Fuji Faire, Inc."
