Rare Fuji “Special Edition” Marlboro 26” Folding Bike. Here’s the story behind this very unique bike. It was made by Fuji for a Marlboro cigarettes promotional campaign in 1996.  It was touted as a limited-edition folding mountain bicycle and the name of the campaign was "Marlboro Unlimited" with the word "Unlimited" featured on the bike's head badge decal.  In order to get the bike through this promotion you needed to redeem 2,200 "Marlboro Miles" and pay an additional $110.00.  A smoker received 5 Marlboro Miles for each pack purchase. A total of 440 packs would have to be consumed to earn enough miles.  You could also buy this bike, without the Marlboro stickers, from a Fuji dealer for $330.00 in 1996, which is the case with this bike.   The frame is made from 4130 Chromoly tubing which is actually stronger than normal steel, weight for weight, and is commonly used to make high-end bicycle frames, roll cages for race cars, and for fuselages on small aircraft. This bike needs some work but it’s worth it. This means that manufacturers use less of the steel so the strength is the same, but the weight is reduced.
