Fuji Franken Beater Bike - 54cm - fixed - Hydraulic Disc front brake

SOLD

The Fuji Fixed FrankenBike has been great. I bought it from here about a year ago (think I paid £140) as a temporary runaround while I built a new bike. It is way too much fun though and I've hung onto it for longer than I originally planned.

When I bought the bike it had no saddle, a bad (and seized) half link chain and bent-beyond-repair cheap crankset.

I replaced all that with decent Shimano 105 cranks, a new chain and chainring (SRAM s300 ring), a worn but fine fizik aliante saddle and I've given the wheels a true. There's bugger all clearance on the rear because of the tyre size (near the brake bridge) so a straight rear wheel is a must. Also replaced the awful adjustable stem with a new one. Oh, and restraps and pedals.

Details:

Fuji Track frame, CroMoly - no idea of year. Bulletproof. 54cm
Converted to run a Shimano Deore Hydraulic disc front.
35c Schwalbe Marathon Supreme tyres, plenty of life.
Gearing is 48/19
Thompson seat post collar, FSA carbon post
Easton Monkey Lite carbon bars
Restraps with plain 'ol plastic bmx pedals

Did I mention it's half naked? Half rawed frame... I give it a rub with wd-40 occasionally (sniggers) and it doesn't seem to get rusty, just a nice dark aged colour.

OK, to much typing. I'll start at SOLD

Cash is king, NO POSTAGE. Pick up from Dalston.

Cheers!

*Wifes arm not included

Dibs, pm'd.

All the Rawrat is back up. What a rad bike.

Great price for those just looking for a disc front end.

Then you get carbon bars, a Thomson Elite seatclamp, Restraps...

and a bike!

pm incoming like a thirsty mosquito

Edit: didn't see eyebrows's dibs. I guess mine are just mad eager second dibs.

Lovely bike; fond memories etc.

So, thanks for all the interest in this - can't believe this is going to go before the Ron Cooper...

cough... spam... cough...

Anyway, I'm holding the sale for now as @eyebrows has 1st dibs and I had agreed to meet him first, before I got any other PMs (in the interest of fairness). His followed by dangler, iannn and lazysuperhero. Hope that's fair by all.

I'll update if anything changes.

Thanks all!

@amey - it has got around hasn't it. Dirty, dirty bike.

Who created this in the first place?

Fifth dibs

Haha good to see it go so quickly , well I bought it of amey, fucked the chainset (sorry) but had great time with it.

I'm out due to lack of free time on the weekend, and not wanting to mess the seller around.
@dangler you're up, you lucky bastard.

Hi all, as eyebrows has had to bail (sorry H, can't hold it, maybe next time huh?) this is open for sale again.

Now, it seems I have made a mistake with the order of dibses... messed up iannn and dangler. (was replying to PMs while working... not a good plan)

In order to be transparent and fair:

1: @Iannn
2: @dangler
3: @lazysuperhero

So, sorry if this messes anybody about, but I've sent PMs to everyone.

Its a @Dakin creation. I added the disc brake set up and the tyres.

SOLD now. Thanks to Ian, good to meet you, I hope it serves you well!

good to meet you too, really enjoying the bike so far - thanks!

@iannn when you wanna sell holla me.
This was my first fixed frame and kinda want it back as a real beater ride in the future
