				| I am, without a shadow of doubt, fullheartedly to believe that this bike created that mammoth crack in the pavement. If you didn't buy this bike you would be a skeptic of it's most awesome and great power and deemed a fool. |

				I'm only skeptical of the "less than 30 miles" part. No matter... it's a clean looking bike for it's age. _________________ ------------[]  O |

				My guess would be a 52, judging from the head tube. 54 at most. _________________ ------------[]  O |

				| Been out of town, sorry for delay in posting... I know nothing about bikes .. On the size, it has 27" tires, hope that helps.. 30 miles is close... bought bike mid-80's. Rode a few times.. Last ride had what I considered a near-death experience with a speeding car. Rode bike home , put it away and have not been on it since.. Always thought I would ride again.. Not going to do it so it is for sale.... |

				This might be of some help:
 
 
 
 
For example: A size 54 frame = 54cm, or approx 21" frame.
 
 
*Fuji Esprees were only produced from 1983-85, and this one is either an 84, or 85 because those were the two years this color was offered.
 
 
Sizes ranged from: 19", 21", 23" and 25" frames. _________________ ------------[]  O |

				| Thanks a lot for you help.. I know this is a bike forum so please excuse my lack of knowledge about bikes..  Frame size of my Fuji is 21".  I guess your post also helps nail down when I bought it. It came from Pedal Power on Upper Street.   Again, Thanks..... |

				No problem, you're welcome! 
 
 
I just Googled "mid-80's Japanese bicycles" and found all the specs on the Fuji's from that era. _________________ ------------[]  O |
