Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Fuji track bike? Worth it?

http://boulderbite.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/fuji-track-2009-single-speed-road-bike.jpg

im planing on picking up this bike on CL for 300 bucks think its worth it?
i have a good amt of money to spend on a bike and this is way below budget i was thinking of getting this and saving the rest of my money till i find another killer deal

should i pass on it or scoop it up before someone else does

Not worth it for a used Fuji. You can buy a new Windsor The Hour for the same price, and its the exact same bike (with different stickers).

I'll be the first to say it (in this particular thread, anyway)...buy a Kilo.

:D

I'd go an extra step for a pretty bike. Kilo Stripper

If you have a bigger budget, go bigger.

I agree. How much are you ideally looking to spend?

i have about 1k to spend

was planning on building a volume cutter v3 but my LBS cant get a glow in the dark green in my size for another 2-3 weeks so i was planing on buying this bike to ride in the mean time

the bike is brand new hasnt really been used

thats my previous bike i built and sold to fund my v3 bike but i wanna ride damn it! lol
i was planing on buying the fuji cause it was in my buy a bike right now budget (less then $300)

2-3 weeks for exactly what you want may be worth the wait.

hmm you prolly right i always rush into stuff and regret haha :thumb:

but this is another bike i really like but i feel like its a bit overpriced think i should get it or just keep on that wait for the volume

has risers and thats it asking $500

think thats to much?

not gonna lie your old bike looks pretty clean.

I have that bike. Great frame, pretty cruddy cranks (can be used without issues though, I used mine for 10000 miles without major problems, but they are worse than just about everything), saddle is adequate and the wheels are indestructable if they're built or tuned by a pro wheel builder. I really like mine

That Masi is cool but if the Volume Cutter is what you really want, hold out. We're talking 2 or 3 weeks.

If you have $1k why are you even considering spending $300 on a fuji. That leaves you $700 for whatever else you want. That leaves you with 2 okay bikes or if you save and be smart and have patients you can have one bad MFr. Just relax, breathe, and ride your mtn bike until then.

I think you may be posting just to say "Hey everyone on BikeForums, I have a thousand dollars and am buying a Volume Cutter!"

This time around, buy a bike that is the right size.

haha exactly. which sometime i'd like to do to except to ask "so gee guys what do you think of the all city big block?"

I'll throw in a vote for the fuji. i use mine to commute back and forth to campus on. got it for about $300 a year and a half ago and have zero complaints so far... just my $.02.

Fair. I'd take one too. In fact at that price point it's a great deal. Just saying if you $1k for a bike why spend $300. Spend $1k.

well i wasnt trying to show off if i did i would have posted it in the first place like hey look what i wanna build...

i was considering this bike as a budget buy in this economy i find it rather hard to drop $1k on a bike but it was something i saved up thinking i wanted a nice volume cutter setup

but i was offered this fuji of cl and though maybe i should pick this up ride it and if i like it while im waiting for my lbs to restock the vol cutter maybe i wont have drop the other $700 haha

I think you should keep this thread going real strong for another 2 and a half weeks, then go buy the bike you actually want.
