Thanks Scott. I spent a lot of time on your Fuji site looking, even before buying this bike so I could figure out what the co-op bike was. It had no graphics and hardly any stock parts. I almost passed on it as it will never really be worth much compared to a pretty stock bike. Rider condition and a blank palette. I probably wouldn’t have painted a pretty stock crank either, but this one was nearly ready for scrap with shoe wear gouges and the crank puller threads almost stripped out. So I had fun on the cheap and didn’t worry about ruining nice parts.

The ride turned out to be very very pleasing. Low trail and very steady on line. Also a very compliant almost soft ride even with a 74degree headtube. 25# as it sits with that big heavy 32T freewheel adding maybe an extra pound over stock. Even though it was rough, it would be difficult to find one like those posted on the Fuji site so I’m glad I bought it. I can’t think too many were sold
