Anyone got one? While they're a bit heavy all-up, the
frame is triple-butted chromoly so presumably the wheels
are the culprits. For the bike price of £299 I don't mind
rebuilding them with some better rims and tyres.

I'd use it for time trialling and (gasp) on the track.

I want one as well-for the road. I saw it at the Bike show
and for the price it's probably the easiest way to get a
fixed (to ride audax!) However what I can't find is any LBS
which actual stocks FUJI bikes. So if anyone has seen one -
preferably in the Midlands please let me know. Mike

Cyclesense in Tadcaster list them. Local to me but not
to you ;-)

Been offered a cheap one in a dodgy pub down the bottom of
Leith Walk, have you?

£299 seems to be the retail price.

I assume Belfast is no good then?

But just in case - Bikeit (028 9079 7974) stock Fuji.

I think I noticed the track bike last time I was in although
one of the Fuji lightweight racers caught more of my eye.

I have had no great dealings with them recently although
when I was 'reborn' to cycling a number of years ago I
bought a road bike from them. They could not have been
more helpful.

Sorry, joke. See

Martyn Ashfiled Cycles near Newport have them - probably
more convenient for me in Swindon than for you, but it's
just off the M4 so maybe?

Someone else is also looking for one:

MEADOWBANK TRACK BIKES THEFT Four track bikes were stolen
from Meadowbank this week - two Duratecs and a Fuji. They're
unique bikes and shouldn't be hard to spot given that they
are completely useless outside a velodrome. One Duratec is
matte black with white letters, size 54 c-c, the other
Duratec is a 58 powder blue with orange and yellow
lettering. The Fuji is bright red and white, size
approximately 56. If you see the bikes get in touch with
John Hewat at the Bicycle Repair Man on 0131 467 1949.

I bloke at work uses one as a hack, and seams pleased with
it, it looks to be all decent stuff. For track and time
trial the weight isn't that important.
