Fuji Touring
Fuji Touring
Fuji’s touring bike has been the multi-day touring standard for more than 3 decades. If you’re a committed touring cyclist looking for the utmost in comfort and durability, this Fuji is for you.
The steel frame rides great regardless of the amount of weight that is packed onto it. Unloaded, the bike is fun to ride. Loaded, even with front panniers, you can handle it in the most severe cross winds.
Fuji has picked equipment that is reliable, touring tested and simple to repair in even the most out of the way places. The key features of this Fuji are the frameset, which is made of springy, strong, and surprisingly light cromoly tubing (about 2 pounds lighter than Surly’s Long Haul Trucker), the robust traditionally spoked touring wheels (36 spokes laced to Shimano hubs), and the complete Shimano drivetrain utilizing the best elements of road and off-road componentry.
For those of you who want simple and familiar, you’ll appreciate the bar-end shifters and rim brakes. For those of you who want cutting-edge and new (as of 1991) we can substitute integrated brake/shift levers for an additional $100.
By the way, would you believe that this bike will cost you less than $1000? Seriously, it’s about $500 off the price of a Trek 520 or a Surly Long Haul Trucker.
We don’t know how they do it.
