Many years ago (pre-1975) I owned both a Fuji "Finest" and a "The Newest". They were both lugged frames, made from chrome-moly steel, and were great bikes. I am not familiar with the Fuji Special model.

I've searched high and low, but I cannot find anything which tells me the frame material on a Fuji Special Road Racer (ss #F8H08302). I think this was a pre-Valite model, and I suspect it was made from high tensile. Could it have been cro-moly?

Any information on this bike and other lugged Fujis would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
