I've used the TwoFish Quick Cage adapter on a round-tube steel bike with no issues. Well, except for not tightening the strap enough at first, and having it slip down in the rain. Tightening the strap fixed that. The cage can still move around a little because the rubber is flexible, but it's not bad.

Where should a track frame trade be posted ?
I recently acquired a
2016 Fuji Track Classic Track Bike 54cm
Fuji Elios 2 custom-butted chromoly all black color
Its too small for me, I got with intention of putting parts on a frame around 60 size.
Bottom bracket and headset included
Would prefer a classic 80s Italian Columbus road frame.
Sorry if this is the wrong forumn but could not search/find a better spot and
I dont have priv to submit a for sale post

It's even more reflective than it looks.
Bike shop bargain box find by a buddy. Been waiting for cross season to end to put it on.
People seem to love it in person. I think it's fun for now but can't wait for it to fall apart. I'm not about to throw away perfectly intact tape.

Looks like something you’d wrap a satellite with, I like it.

Notice that you have a Fuji Track bike. You have a diff model. Why not worth much for Fuji Track classic frame ?

Looking at the parts individually there is nothing really special, including the frame. It’s not particularly good craftsmanship and I’m almost convinced it’s the same frame as on the Windsor Hour with a Fuji paint job. So that’s why I said it’s not worth much on its own.

Here's the fixed frame I built for myself. Looking at the pic reminds me that I still need to drill the stem for the cable housing termination and get rid of that ugly bracket...like I have done for my other bikes. Sugino 75 with a perfectly aligned 1/8" drivetrain, 650B x 34 Col de la Vie tires which are a bargain and very nice. When I ride with my geared friends their bike's drivetrains annoy, if not outright hurt, my ears. Mine sounds like a very quiet Swiss watch. It was a joy to build and is a joy to ride.
And the bend on those fork blades? Ooo la la!

I bought a very fugly 66cm Ross Cr-Mo frame/fork on eBay about a month ago. Stripped it, searched the corners of the internet for bargains for parts and did a Rustoleum paint job. It comes in about 21 pounds--using the bathroom scale with me holding/not holding the bike.
It fits my 5'18" self well (36" inseem) and I'm looking forward for the snow in the land of Cheese and Beer to finally give way to spring.

That's a lot of masking work for a rattle can job. I admire the dedication.

Its a most of roll of blue tape and maybe an hour to mask--painted the gray first and then masked and painted the white. Used a paint pen (black) for the "pinstripes" on the lugs where the gray/white meet...that took maybe 15 minutes. That said, I appreciate the compliment. I enjoy the artistic side of the build, and I'm rather proud of how this one looks.
