Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Hey man, they're made in the USA by legal adults instead of child slave labor in Asia.

I really don't think that justifies the price does it?

And this is coming from someone who has been trying to buy exclusively made in the US guitar equipment for years.

I went for a smaller size, 52; a 54 would've been more fitting nonetheless, but 56 is just a tad bit too much for me to be comfortable with. And it's always a better move to go for smaller than bigger.

My friend got one of those fuji's, built her up, then moved to colorado.

So I get to ride in exchange for selling it for him. (I ride until it sells)

With those mast Fujis, make sure they're recent production, with the chainstay design that allows for any track crank to be used, rather than the ISIS/FSA carbon with the MTB spindle that the first year's production were shipped with. I fought long and hard with Fuji to get a frame that would work with my Omniums, and they finally shipped me one straight from China.

My guess is that they are early production, which is why they were discounted so heavily. The description states that the maximum chainring size is 44T, which sounds like there's a problem with chainstay clearance. Anyways, by now the sale is over and most sizes were out of stock, so the question is academic.

Yep. We were one of the first teams in the country to get them, back in the day. I was the only one who got one of the proper ones. Reckon they're all proper, now that they figured it out. Nashbar also still has some 58cm Track Elites left, not at the screaming, $1100 deal they were first offered at. And that 44T chainring stuff is nonsense, because the cranks hit the chainstay, even with no chainring on them. Hence the MTB BB spindle, which let the crankarms clear, while giving you the option of only the one, stock crank.

Buzz was that the Gen. 1 Elites had the same complexity as the Gen. 1 Track Pros.

Just won a slightly used Arione saddle for $40. Pretty excited, especially when comparing it to my stock Kilo seat.
