For Sale: Fuji Track Pro, Penguin Edition

Frame, fork, stem, bars and seatpost were all painted using automotive two-pack paint by Sam Fish last year.

All the parts were primed, then painted slightly off-white, flatted back, painted again:

Then it was masked and the orange colour applied:

Sam said that painting the bars (they are orange under the grips) was the hardest thing he has ever painted

Sam will touch the frame up for a small fee as he has kept the paints he mixed.

I paid £200 to have the frame and parts painted, then had the bottom bracket and head tube faced before building it up.

The bars, stem and seatpost are all Deda.

Frame size is, according to Fuji, a 61cm.

I've just put a tape measure on it and the seat-tube is 55cm c-c and the top tube is 58cm c-c.

I'm 6'2" for reference.

Currently the bike has risers fitted, these will be included as they are white with orange grips to match everything else.

So to summarise what is for sale:

Frame, forks, headset, stem, seatpost, drop bars with grips and risers with grips.

I am unsure what a fair price is for this due to the paint, so will say £350- please let me know what the opinion is of this price.

I'd love to buy it... but I'm too short! It's a fantastic looking bike

Oh, dear.

You went through all the hassle to finally settle on a Cannondale instead?

Too tall for me and just got the Planet X

Why you selling it?

Hunter's nature.

Why you selling it?

Buy Andy's Cannondale Track.

One in/one out.

That's nice bike however to big for me really want a paint job similar to that's though on my bike

words cannot express how pissed i am that i didn't see this yesterday.
Perfect Size, looks amazing. but i literally spent *Exactly *that much yesterday on my new amp so now i'm broke. >:(

Great price, wish I was taller!

Wish I was a baller......

It's been brought to my attention that the thread title might need some explanation.

It's Penguin Edition because the colours that the bike is painted in are those of a Penguin Classic paperback book.

My intention was to get a Penguin head badge, and decals of an author and book title and put them on the frame- probably HG Wells/The Time Machine.

As you can see I've not got round to that yet!

I got it, your avatar gave it away

The Penguin T-Shirt that the forum produced, and then had to withdraw from sale after Penguins laywers came calling, were based on a design that Big Daddy Wayne did for this bike.

I want to stop looking at this

Ugly, isn't it?

^ Joke...

Any advice where I can buy Koga decals from?

Want.

nope havent got a reply

Sorry I didn't reply- I was at the jumble at LMNH.

The bike that I would have been purchasing with the money for this one sold to someone else earlier, hence me withdrawing it from sale.

Many thanks to everyone for their interest- the number of enquiries surprised me as I thought it was rather a strange choice for a colour scheme.

Thanks for the ironic tagging James.
