Fuji Team Issue - built up and ready to ride.
It's actually a pretty nice evening so I decided to take a minute and take a couple of pictures of the new bike. I received the frameset yesterday evening and built it up last night. I haven't had a chance to ride it yet though.
I'm getting ready to jump on the trainer and do some threshold work. I figure that's as good of a place to break it in as any. Well, not really, but I'm trying my best to convince myself of it.

Hee hee - I'll make the first OCP policing post:
1) brake levers rotated too far down on the bars
2) Wheel labels not alligned properly
3) left crank not entirely hidden by seat tube
4) old-school bottle cages
Who am I kidding - that's a beautiful bike. I'd probably you straight-across for my Tarmac!

isn't it technically already broken in since you transplanted all of the vital organs from another bike?

Thanks everyone.
For training I use a PowerTap SL laced to an open pro rim. Nothing special, very dependable though.

Your threads are awesome. Thanks for the pics. I followed your Blue project and ended up buying a RC5-AL to get started in the Crash 5s.
May I ask you how much you paid for the Fuji frame?

Nice bike! It has that look like you should just hop on and ride, maybe hit some hills.

2) Can't align the labels and the stems.
3) Oops.
4) I've been using the American Classic cages for quite a while. I guess it could be time for an upgrade though.
