Hi there,
I found this old Fuji frame in the dumpster. I liked the look of the old vintage look to it and figured id try to bring it back to life. I havent been in the bike game in many years and need some help picking out parts. I dont want to put a ton of money into it but also dont want anything cheap. If someone could give me some recommendations for wheels, tires, gears, handle bars, etc. It would be very appreciated.

Honestly I wouldn’t replace anything it already has. Watch some YouTube videos about bike restoration/tune ups. I bet if you take this thing apart and give it good clean and tune up it’ll be good as new. Maybe a new chain, pedals, tires/tubes, re-cable the brakes and shifters but seriously it’ll be a better story if you keep as much original as possible.
My recommendation is the Bikespeeds channel on YouTube
Clean up what you can , panracer tyres, new drop bars and a 1×10? Setup.
Are you over 6’5”? If not that bike is probably way too big for you
