Unfortunately, I didn’t take a picture of the key before sending these off. You release the lock by inserting and pushing this key in it doesn’t turn. On the bottom right hand picture, the silver piece sticking out is actually the key. Here’s some greater detail of the vintage Nichibei Fuji locks. See the next photo for better detail of one. How cool is that?! You might also be wondering what is that device with the “FUJI” mountain engraving and bar protruding from the side (bottom left picture). This one even comes with perhaps an original top-tube cover. While you’re at it look at those awesome brakes and quite interesting quad-divided pedals. Check out some of the extra details that make these vintage bicycles so interesting to look at.įirst, look at the decorated rivets for the fender support bars. This vintage Fuji HAO recently popped up over on an auction website in Japan.

These bicycles are not easy to find and I now own both Fuji Design Series road and track models in 63cm and 61cm respectively. I am very excited about this acquisition regardless of condition. This one could very well fall into that category.
I’m usually not one to refinished bicycles in my collection I’m more of a “preservationist”, however, there is a certain point at which I believe they deserve a refresh. In my head I imagine a repaint to its original color with some nice pinstriping around the lugs etc. Every square inch has a scratch… I will clean it up, regrease, ride and then decide what I will do. I’m not sure what I will do with the bicycle yet. Eastside took possession and packed up the 85 Gorski for me. I’d like to thank Darryl Glascock over at Eastside Cycles in Nashville for his excellent and friendly customer service.

*Sale with free shipping Posted in Cruiser, Informational | Tagged jaguar, mark v, schwinn, what's it worth | Leave a reply Vintage Regina freewheel removal toolġ985 Fuji Design Series “Mark Gorski” Track bicycle I also did not see an increase or decrease in prices, there was high and low sales in each year. I’m not going to dig into what accessories or options each bike had, however, they all appeared to be in very good shape, none were rust-buckets that I could see. By the way, none of the other sales offered free shipping. Add in actual shipping and packing and the $680 can easily exceed the $729 sale.
So, the next highest, without free shipping was $680. The highest sales price is deceiving as it was an auction with free shipping. The highest sales price being $729.95, and the lowest being $300. I could only find 6 sales that I could back-up. So, I researched documented sales history (in real-estate you’d call this comps) and here’s what I found between 20. They are selling it for an old lady, thus, I’d rather not try and get some super deal, but rather help them maximize their sales price. I have a rule if it’s not my size or I can’t ride it, I can’t buy it and 2. I certainly gave it some thought, but decided against it for two reasons. This weekend someone asked if I wanted to purchase a 1964 Schwinn Jaguar Mark V that had been discovered in an attic it had been stored there for 34 years.
