can anyone id this for me? thanks

fuji track?

you might be right. thanks

Is it just me, or is it that locking job pointless? If you undo the first lock the 2nd one comes off with it.

if you unlock the first one (the one with some real power) then you just take the bike... the other one is just there to deter theft of the rear wheel, it's much more likely that one is cut than the u-lock, so it really doesn't matter what you link it to.

p.s. it's not the right track ends to be a fuji. i've seen them before but i can't place them quite yet.

edit* i change my mind, there is a tensioner throwing me off when i look at the ends. i still can't remember the ends i am thinking of though

yeah, its fuji.

the fuji stem and seatpost definitely lend credence to the fuji theory ...

Both those locks go around the railing anyway.

Both locks? I only see one.

its a fuji track owned by someone who want to pierce his chest.

so i'm guessing all the decals on the fuji track frame can simply be peeled off, unlike the langsters, which are cleared over?

i only ask because i am interested in one, but the nearest dealer is 5+ hours away.

Not any I've seen. 5+ hours = order online unless you have no clue what size you need.

That bike looks rattle-canned.

that's the problem. i bought a 07 langster off ebay for cheap. it's a 54, but compact geometry, and i am not liking the aluminum ride quality. i also ride an old raleigh gran sport frame switched to fixed which i know is to big (it was my dads old bike, = free), so i don't really know whether to get the 54 or 56.

according to the fit calculator @ competitivecyclist, i measure up for a tt of 54.4 to 54.8 and a seat tube tc of 54.3 to 54.8. Both fit closely to the 54 according to the geometry on fuji's web page.

at the risk of getting blasted, is it safe to use this as half-decent reference for frame fitting? living in the sticks leaves me little options to test ride, let alone get fit at a reputable shop. buying online is pretty much my only way to get my hands on track/fixed gear.

thanks for any help you could share...

The fit calculators are a good place to start. Taking a bike for a long ride and fiddling with the fit is even better as is having someone really knowledgeable watch you ride and fiddle with it.

Unfortunately most shops lack knowledgable staff and don't want you going on a long ride and fiddling. Unless you already know more or less how you want the bike to fit and how it needs to be adjusted you might as well just order based on the calculator.

Considering how much cheaper you can order online for and how little use a bike shop hundreds of miles away is going to be after purchase I would probably just order the something.
