Found this all-original 1983 Fuji Touring Series on eBay
What a beautiful find! Love the chromed fork crown. I worked in a Fuji
shop in the late 70's/early 80's, and my first bikes were Fuji's. One of
these days I'm going to restore my old Fuji America that's gathering dust
in my father's

I have a Nishiki Prestige (that I NEED to get back on the road... lost the
front wheel last year)... Agree the ride is amazingly comfortable.
Joe B, these are the shifters you bartered to me; they are awesome! THANK
YOU!!! I haven't owned Suntour Barcons so I can't do a fair
Interesting point about front bag interference, thanks for that comment.
I'm thinking of buying a large front back for randonneuring.
Back on topic - awesome Fuji, love the build!

Oh, functionally I see no issues with the routing and agree it might reduce
bag interference. It's purely an aesthetic issue for me, although I've

Nice! I still have a Nishiki Grand Tour 15 that I bought new in 1982
during the small craze for touring bikes. I don't know if the Japanese
bikes had real touring geometry or not, but my Nishiki is still the most
comfortable bike I have. Still mostly stock, except for a 6 cog freewheel

What a gorgeous Touring Series IV!! I'm not a huge fan of the 'concealed'
bar-end cable routing, but a really nice specimen overall.

Anton, why not? For friction it makes little difference in function
and greatly reduces bag interference issues.
Bobby, how you like those shifters? Do they compete well with the

Bobby,
Sweet find, I restored a 1979 Fuji Royale and really enjoyed it. You may

When I first started riding back in the mid-80s, there were a lot of these
(along with the Fuji Series III, II and I) around. Touring bikes were

Congrats, Bobby! That is a really cool looking bike!
