1984 Fuji 250x

This 16” is an all original survivor down to the tubes and tires. The serial number has a manufacturing year of 1983; however based on the plastic MX seat and type of stem, I'm quite certain it is a 1984 model.

It was quite the rust bucket; likely left in the rain, and a little one had decided to take a nice black permanent marker and trace around almost the entire bike. I disassembled and cleaned everything and was able to remove almost all the rust with some still remaining on the chain, yes that’s OG too. I was also able to get the 25+ year old black marker off.

I got this frame and fork from Kristevin probably 4 or 5 years ago, and it is in superb shape. I had it on the back burner for a long time before I amassed all the parts I needed to build a "sister bike" to the Power Cruiser I built for my wife that she has never ridden, the two together are just sick if I do say so myself.
