How do I find out history on old Fuji bike bought at auction?



My husband bought on older bike from a farm auction to fix up for me and I wondered if there was any ino to be found about it and where? It's a green 20" single speed bike with handlebar brakes. Says Nichibei Fuji Cycle Company LTD on the frame and then has a sticker says TOBU, not sure if this sticker is org or not because it has kids kellogs tony the tiger stickers on it too. The green is org color but is rusted off the chain guard. I didnt see any numbers on it but will do closer inspection today. Also has metal flat rack behind seat for?
Thanks for any help!

Wow, that is an old one. Unfortunately the Fuji name has been bought and sold a couple of times since that bike was built.

Your bike was built about 1967 or 1968 at the beginning of the "Asian Attack" on the bike industry. It is even possible that it was brought back to the U.S. by a Korean War veteran.

The biggest issue you are going to have is finding any kind of parts for it other than cables and tires, and maybe wheels.. Most early Fuji models used a type of threading called Whitworth which was borrowed from the British and is long since obsolete.

Cool piece of esoterica though. Source(s): 27 years in the industry
