Fuji Track Pro – major upgrades!
January 14th, 2009 by naptrax
I originally built this custom Fuji Track Pro frame up with cheap Bontrager parts from a Trek Soho S, but over the last few months I have been upgrading it to a serious beast. The crankset is a Dura Ace 7710 “hollow tech” crankset & matching octalink bottom bracket, which feature hollow-forged duraluminum arms for the stiffest and lightest non-carbon cranks available. It’s matched to Dura Ace 7600 high-flange track hubs laced to a Velocity deep-v wheelset on Continental Gatorskin tires. The front chainring is a Sugino 75 46T while the cog is a 16T Dura Ace. I also added a Dura Ace AX seatpost and a rare gray-colored Brooks B17 Pro saddle. The pedals are MKS Custom Nuevo with MKS Alpha leather double-straps & Christophe clips. Finally, I swapped the 130mm Cinelli Groove stem for a 120mm, and I might drop it down to 100mm soon.
I’ve been riding this bike as a fixed-gear since December, although I have retained the front and rear brakes for safety, and also so I can switch back to freewheel easily if I wanted. However, it is a joy to ride fixed and I’m loving every minute on this bike. Total value is around $1800, so it’s not your average coffee-getter, but I do ride it daily in NYC despite the grit and grime (which you can see in the pics after the jump.)
Lots more pics after the jump!
