The Shimano STI, of course, is a 21 speed, and the Fuji is a 15 speed.I'll need to use spacers, from the junk bike's rear axle, right? Like I say, I'd appreciate any and all advice. What will I have to do to mount the derailleur to the Fuji plate? on the dumpster bike, the derailleur is bolted directly to a tapped hole in the frame, and the Fuji's derailleur is affixed to a metal plate which fastens to the frame. (I'm 6', 150# ) I could use a little advice, though, about the rear derailleur, though. I'd like to strip it for the parts to put on my Fuji folder, because the Fuji actually fits me pretty good, and the dumpster bike's frame is too short and too small for me. The bike is a 'Trail Head', 'Trailridge' model, with Shimano STI 200GS shifters, derailleurs and brakes, and 170mm cranks. It's a criterium bike I bought in '86 from a former racer, and I still ride it every chance I get.Īs for the Fuji.last year I found a complete, fairly new MTB in a dumpster at the local landfill.all OK except for a pair of flat tires. Not on the Fuji, though.but on my 'race bike': an 'oval-tube rainbow-frame' Pinarello, 1984 model. OK, now I'm stoked.but I'm going to take a couple hours, tomorrow, and go watch the Salida, CO-Stage start of the US Pro Cycling Challenge.how could I not? It's about eight blocks from where I live. The lighter bike is easier to put into the car trunk if you have a bad back.ĭo you have a photo with the fenders and the rack? And you get a better lighter bike and parts for the price if it's not a folder. Then I realized a normal bike with quick release wheels is just as good to put in a car if you take the wheels off. At the time it was sold by Fuji too of course. It was a premium you get from Marlboro by saving labels or something. Since these pictures were taken I have added a rack and fenders. I still use it when we travel by car because it fits nicely folded in the trunk and is much more secure than atop the car. I commuted 12 miles one way a couple times a week on it, including a couple of pretty good hills with no complaints other than a bit of flexing in the BB area. It has had all the original gear replaced with Shimano Deore 9 speed although I am using 7 speed trigger shifters with a spacer on the freehub for now. ![]() I have completely stripped mine down to the frame and started over and must say that it rides very well as a commuter and travel bike. ![]() So bikedued, did you ever get that Fuji? And has anyone determined the origins of the bike? Mine had a Marlboro logo on the head tube also but I bought it used and assumed the previous owner had slapped it on there.
