| New for 2016, Fuji offers Sagres (top), and Cambridge (bottom) |
Apparently, "Nichibei" translates to "Japanese-American." Fuji actually started as the Nichibei Trading Company in 1899. For more fun facts about Fuji's history, check out classicfuji.com.
The Sagres and Cambridge are cheap steel 7-speeds with fenders, chainguards, and wide 700 x 35C tires. The styling is fairly elegant as well. There is a third Nichibei model, the single-speed Sport, that's less interesting but still good basic transportation.
The Cambridge should not be confused with the Fuji Cambridge that we talked about here back in 2009. That was a beautiful steel bike with an internal 8-speed hub. I hope Fuji will bring that one back even if they have to rename it.
