I’ve had this 1990ish Fuji for a few years as my “get around town bike”. It’s been great to me but I live in a hillier area now so I’d like to get something with lower gearing and comfier tires.
This Bridgestone seems to meet that need. Triple cranks and bigger tires, and it looks sweet. It’s listed at $200. Can I sell the Fuji for about the same? Am I making a comparable trade in quality of frame/components? Will parts be easy to get for the bstone? I just added new schwalbe green marathon tires, shimano freewheel, and shimano chain, and it’s otherwise in good shape. I’d keep the rack and basket on the Fuji.

If the Bridgestone is legit, it’s definitely worth $200. Really easy to find parts for.
