HI all, just joined. We own a little antique and consignment shop here in Montana and like Rick on Pawn Stars says; "You never know whats gonna come thru that door" The other day a guy showed up with 3 bikes. One was what I would call a Mtn. bike, one was and old school 21spd (Both Fuji) and a Raleigh 10spd road bike. The mtn bike is an '82 Tahoe, the road bike is a blue Royale. I asked him what he had to have out of them and he said 10 bucks. I said each? and he said no, for all three. The Tahoe needed a rear tire and tube, the Royale needed nothing and the Raleigh just a rear tire. I tuned up the Tahoe this morning and changed the tire and tube and she rides sweet. Our bike guy for the store even brought me in a Fuji tractor seat. So anyway I'm pretty happy with my ten dollar purchase!

Hi Nagant, he sure did. I learn more and more about vintage stuff everyday. I was surprised as well at the market value of the two Fuji's. I had no idea. But the more I look at and ride the bikes, even a novice like me can see quality in the details. You are also right about the Raleigh. Before I started researching these bikes, I would not have given you a plugged nickel for it. But it too has well designed parts. Heck it even has a Swedish kickstand! Lol I'll look forward to shootin' the breeze with you folks in the future.
