I have been on the hook to replace my youngest daughter's bike that blew off our rack a couple of summers ago (Specialized Dolce). She was spoiled by riding a nice bike so I have been looking for something to replace it that is a serious bike, but didn't cost $1500+. I've been keeping my eyes open since then and finally picked this up from a private party this week for $375. It's a 1986 Team Fuji road bike with a 49cm frame (short legged girl, my daughter is). I took it in to the shop to have them fine tune it today and all the mechanics were drooling (that's always a good sign). It's in mint condition and only needed slight tweaking of the front derailleur. All original Suntour Sprint components (pedals are Superbe Pro). It's even got original tape on the handlebars. Think she's going to like it. Hope she likes Sweden's colors.

Cool ride! Hope she loves it! My primary bike is a 2000 model Klein Quantum Pro!
