It has had all the original gear replaced with Shimano Deore 9 speed although I am using 7 speed trigger shifters with a spacer on the freehub for now. I have completely stripped mine down to the frame and started over and must say that it rides very well as a commuter and travel bike.
So bikedued, did you ever get that Fuji? And has anyone determined the origins of the bike? Mine had a Marlboro logo on the head tube also but I bought it used and assumed the previous owner had slapped it on there.
