Noob post but i figured i would put this up given that a load of the parts had come from this site.
I know this is hardly the pimp hardware that a lot of people have but i have a wholesome stash of that kind of thing anyway.
I have and love a couple of Modern Fuji road bikes and some idle browsing had led me to find that Fuji made a batch of folding mountain bikes for Marlboro to use as promos to their heaviest smokers. I found one for sale on facebook for a few quid and bought it.
It was shit and had been an unloved commuter and was dead.
It got stripped and rebuilt with replacement everything in DX and XT except for cassette and chain. Wanted to stick with cantis and thumbshifters.
Anyways. It’s built. I need some new springs and caps for the rear cantis at some point but it rides nicely.
I think it looks cool and it means something to me that i doubt anyone else would understand !
