another newb question...

[p80]

what's good? Anyways, I need some help getting some info on this frame I might pick up. All I know is the obvious: Team Fuji, 56cm frame, 700c in the rear and 650c in the front, and that's about it. Any info on the bike would be great! Thanks again.

Well, I'll point out the obvious - you've posted a picture of a road time trial bike in the Track forum. So, first things first, this bike doesn't have track dropouts, which means using it as a fixed wheeled bike is slightly more difficult.

Second, you can't use this bike for track racing - UCI rules, and many national federations ban different sized wheels in mass-start events.

But if you're looking for a bike to ride to work or the shops on, that's fast and a bit different, go for it.

It's a road time trial frame from the late 80's by the look of those dropouts.

If it fits your groove go for it. How much are they asking?

Thanks for the replys! Yeah, I figured that I may be in the wrong section, but it was worth a shot. After doing a little research, I realized it was a time trial frame. btw, I'm picking it up complete for about $300. I didn't think it was that bad. I'm really digging the crackle paint! Also, I noticed on Velospace there were a few frames w/ a similar shape, but it was listed as a pursuit bike. Is there any difference??

Thanks!

they're TT bikes for the track but among the bike hipster crowd it is used incorrectly to describe all and only bikes that look look kinda like the one you posted.
