Whats the story with "old-skool" Fuji BMX bikes ??

I remember a friend of mine had one around 81-82, and it was one of the nicest bikes in the hood. I was pretty young, but I remember the bike was really light, and looked trick w/ a orange paint job, and neon green grafix...the bike seemed very high end, but I dont recall ever seeing another one.

Fuji Feather, Orange Peel. There was one on ebay last week. They also made a Plum Crazy that was purple and a white one.

Here it is

Hi Sab,

Is that your frame?
If so, can u provide closer pics of the frame details.
I think i have 2 of them here, and have been trying to I.D them for 2 years.
What does the green lettering along the top-tube say???

One of mine is red like your picture, and the other is chromed, it seems much lighter, almost like it's a cro-mo (team?) version, but still has identical frame features....

Both mine are Euro BBsets....

Marty

ya, thats the one, were they cro-mo ??

A friend of mine kept talking about the Fuji Feather he had. And it was so light "you could pick it up with one finger." He said his was black with gold hardware. He said he paid about $300-400 dollars BITD.

no, its not mine. It is on ebay.

I think the white one was called a White Cap. I remember a guy in my hometown had one.

I saw one of the red ones in the back of a truck last year. Tried to get the guy to sell it to me but he wouldn't. Said he got it free from an old lady and was going to give it to his kids to tear up.

I always thought those Orange peels looked cool.
