New backup bike build - Fuji SL1
Somehow I have managed to get back one of a frameset from my former life, a Fuji SL1. It is in good condition but it was nasty when I got it. I have never seen so much salt on a bike, all of the screws were white. The headset was even nasty. I spent an hour or two cleaning it up and it looks like it is going to turn into a nice backup bike once I finish building it up.
I am not planning on building it up as a weight weenie bike but it should still be relatively light for a budget build.
Frame weight - 880 grams.
Fork weight - 370 grams.

My buddy that I sold it to was getting a new frameset so I bought this one and built up his new bike for him.
Here it is in it's former life when I owned it. This one was my training bike.
Here is a picture of the other SL1 that I had, my buddy's dad bought it from me. This one weighed in at 14.2 pounds.
Here they are together, to prove that there really are two of them.

I haven't forgotten about this. It's just coming together a little slow, as usual.
I just received some new brakes for it, went with some Planet-X's instead of the 105's that I was planning on using.
They are just a little lighter than the 105's.

Some cables, tape, and tires and it will be ready to ride.

I've been lazy so it has been on hold. I'm not in much of a rush since it is just a back up.
