Fuji Bike Identification Help

[Cmo38]

Found this bike in my father's storage after he passed. Having the hardest time finding the year and model. Also would anyone know if this bike is worth anything? Its in a little bit of a rough condition. Thanks in advance.

The front mech, assuming it's original, dates it as 1981 or near, probably no later than 1986 or so. Looms a nice bile, good luck with finding out about it.

I doubt it's worth much at all, but it's a nicely built machine with a good quality steel frame, roughly the equivalent of Reynolds 501. Why not just sort it out, keep it and ride it? It will have more value as a functioning bike than whatever little bit of cash you may get for it.

I'll up @Drago's year by one, to 1982 to give you

That was the price new, in 1982. 1983 model used 9658 tubing.

Top work Lance O'Classic! I wasn't far off on the date, eh?

As John says, probably not worth a lot (although in emotional terms it's doubtless priceless) but it's a tidy spec, probably very nice to ride.

Worked from the handlebars, which got me to the site listed when using the bike name. I got lucky.

You weren't far off, I'll give you that.

They seem to keep their prices, in the US at least. One from 1986 at over $700 on ebay.

All we need now are pictures of the restored bike, on the road.

I sure wouldn't go that far.
At the co-op, maybe a hundred or so.
Worth far more as a bicycle ridden than as a bicycle sold.
