HARPO
Cruisin' on my Bluebird
OK @juvela Roger...I'm becoming a Fuji magnet now!
I picked this one up this morning about 10 miles from my house. The guy I purchased it from said he got it from the original owner who had it hanging in his garage for the last 27 years. And judging from the dirt and grime, I believe him. The only thing missing are the rubber hoods, which from the pieces remaining turned to a dried out mess. All else is as it left the factory, and the paint is in beautiful condition.
I've already begun the cleanup, but it's easy so far removing the dirt. It will take a while, but it will be worth it. First bike I've had in this shade of blue/green, and it's only one of two colors offered that year.
I don't know how cheap the guy I purchased it from got it, but I managed to pay $80 for it. This will look great beside my 1985 Fuji Del Ray (see a perviuos post) which is in as good if not better condition.
Enjoy the barrage of BEFORE photos!!
