Up for sale is my upgraded and customised Fuji Track.
The frame is an 'M', which gives it an effective top tube of 54.5cm and a seat tube of 54cm (centre of BB to top).
The bike was my wolf-in-sheep's-clothing commuter until a spoke went on the rear wheel (causing it to go out of true). I always intended to do it up, but I got into using my road bike instead, and so I've decided to sell the Fuji on.
There's no two ways about it, the Fuj is a scruffy looking thing right now, but it rode beautifully prior to the spoke going. I suspect half an hour fettling on the rear wheel by someone in the know could have the bike running perfectly, or it would be a very cheap job to get the LBS to do it for you. I was going to sort it myself, but I thought I'd be lazy and cut a chunk off the price I initially wanted for the bike instead.
The spec list is as follows, and I will be completely honest about condition:
Fuji Track frame - plenty of scrapes and chips to the paint, some even showing touches of surface rust, but there are no dents and the frame integrity is fine.
Accor carbon Fork - I had Brixton Cycles fit this about a year and a half ago as I preferred the feeling of carbon up front. There is a noticeable scratch on the fork thanks to BC's annoying habit of stacking bikes for collection on top of each other in the showroom. It's aesthetic damage only, however.
Sugino 75 Crankset and Super Lap bottom bracket - an awesome combination that was a massive upgrade to the bike. There are scrapes, scratches and transfer wear, but it runs perfectly smoothly (50t chainring).
Rear wheel is a deep rimmed aluminium thing laced to a Formula hub. I can't remember what the rim actually is, but it came off my old Pearson Touche. As I mentioned above, it needs a spoke replacing and retruing. There are scratches to the rim, but there's plenty of life in it. It has a flip/flop hub and the fixed side uses Miche cogs. There's a 17t cog on at the moment, but a 16t and a 15t will be included in the sale, as well as another lock ring.
Front wheel is an Alexrims RT400 - very, very slightly out of true - used, but plenty of life remaining.
Tyres - 23mm Conti Gatorskins - used, but still plenty of life.
Headset - a lightly used Cane Creek fitted by Brixton Cycles at the time of the fork change.
Bars - ITM Racing Line - nearly new fi'zi:k tape poorly applied by me.
Stem - Deda Logo
Brake levers - Cane Creek
Brakes - Shimano 105s - plenty of scratches, but functioning well and I've fitted new blocks.
Saddle - Velo D2 in good nick
Pedals - Shimano M520s. There is an obvious scrape to one edge of a pedal from when they were on my Pearson and I came off. They work fine, however.
