For sale: Green Specialized Singlecross 54cm - SSCX / Nice Beater [Manchester]

£SOLD: 56cm Freshly powder coated (moss green) Fuji Track, with on one wheel set (fixed/fixed 18/16t) with good contition 23mm gatorskins, 44t gebhardt chainring on 165mm cranks, fitted with new shimano BB, headset could potentially need looking at by someone who understands headsets.

PRICE DROP TO £200: 54cm Specialised Singlecross (the green one) got off flebay for ~£300 and raced SSCX a few times.

Racing was lots of fun, but the nature of the local cross league courses and the nature of my beer gut just makes it a little too much hard work and I got myself a 29er with lots of gears.

Currently built as a commuter. Have ridden it to work and back for a friend to test ride, so confident that its good to go.

Original elements:
• Aluminium frame with carbon fork, original headset and seatpost collar
• 44t chainring and cranks
• Wheels, QR/bolt through axel,
• Stem and bars
Upgrades:
• New 20t freewheel and KMC chain
• New tektro cantilever brakes and levers
• New leopard print bar tape
• New Bontrager saddle and platform pedals
• Brandless but decent two bolt seatpost
• Used 25mm Continental 4 Seasons tyres.
The good:
• Takes mudguards and rack
• Can easily and cheaply change gear inches with new freewheel (~ £10)
• Lightweight bicycle with track ends, no faffing with chain tensioner or horizontal drop outs.
• I've run this with 41mm tyres, so you should be able to get chunky commuter tyres on there no problem.
The bad:
• Superficial wear and tear - It's 7 years old! Nothing drastic, and shouldn't be an issue if this this your commuter/pub bike.
• Don't know the state/provenance of headset or BB. Basically, they work, but could probably be smoother.
• One of the bottle cage bosses has been stripped (downtube). This can be fixed, plus there asre still have two more locations for bottle cages.
• Bar tape is a little scuffed.

Can ship at your cost, though collection or delivery in Manchester preferred.

How much for the just the Fuji frame? No cranks, wheels etc

Cheers

Hi Blacklisted, I'm happy to sell frame with the chainset but without the wheels for £95.

I can build the Singlecross up with original 44t chainring, newish chain and 25mm tyres if a SS commuter is more your thing. (Giving 44 x 20, C. 58 gear inches. Low but not mad.)

Can supply seatpost as well. So potential buyer would just need saddle and pedals.

Offers around £300, which seems high but hopefully reflects the £££ of brand new brakes, levers and freewheel. Will take a lower offer if you'll do the tinkering yourself.

Hope this bump is ok!

Hi there - would be interested in taking the singlecross, what state is it in? It's complete less saddle & pedals, correct? Would need to be with the 44t c/ring. Could pick up from Salford Quays next Thursday.

Price drop to £250
As pictured, changes from above spec (e.g. all stock + new brakes, tape and cables) are:
44t original chainring + fairly new kmc chain.
25mm conti four seasons - well used, but certain they've got life in them.
Bontrager saddle and Wellgo pedals - brand new (came with latest addition to the stable.)

Collection/delivery in Manchester.

Decided to stop being stubborn and offer UK postage at buyers expense.

Correct me if I'm wrong - ~£30 for parcelforce, right?

By any chance you could tell which year is the Fuji from?

@Noice. I think it may be a 2008, based on the original paint work.

Fuji sold. Looking forward to seeing @AlexH's build.

Bumping with price drop on the Singlecross. Updated first post with lots of details.

OK, the Singlecross still hasn't gone on eBay and is still sitting pretty in my living room.

Hope a cheeky pre-payday bump is ok.

£200 for a solid light SS commuter / canal smasher. All the specs in the first post.

I have a bike box, so could get this shipped within the UK ASAP for £30.
