bit of wild cable routing on that front brake!!!
nice ride though
if i was being picky - and i can be ;)
i'd swap out the bars and pedals, drop the stem down, and sort out the seat!
is it really an 83?

I agree on the Bars front. Pros only look right on certain bikes. Mostly they look too big and dominate the front end too much, in my opinion.
That is weird cable routing on the front though. I love the decals; they are a really nice contrasting colour.
Still, nice bike that. Good find! :daumenhoch:

I do like a nice pink Freestyle Quad :daumenhoch:
I hate to do this but I would hope someone would point out these things if it was my purchase-
It looks like the paint is new, the F&F,headset & stem all match perfectly (what are the chances of that?) and it looks like it was sprayed with the headset in situ.The decals are the newer Fuji-SE offerings, colourwise it looks a little dark too, are the forks stamped SE on the bottom? I ask because they look different to my old ones and others I have seen, they also have chrome caps and not black plastic with grip tape on the top.
Skyways are new school Graphites too.
will be a sweet bike with a bit of TLC though :smitten:
Here is my old one :smitten:

its not with me yet so i dont know about the forks thought it was a good start for a project
this is my 1st 1 AND i thought it was a good buy
thanks for your input any more ideas for me just let me know ;)
-
as above, those forks are not lgs by the looks, dropouts wrong shape, angle of bottom edge not right and the welds look to big to me, nice bike tho :daumenhoch:
-
Pink Hmm, Nice......................if your a girl :LolLolLolLol:
-
Right about the forks O.D.
Really don't look like legit S. Gear.
And I would not call that seat an SE, it's more an Aero Kashi with an SE sticker, nice though !
