I've been stuck at home for over 4 weeks now. Bored. Despite working. So this lunchtime I picked up a budget eBay purchase locally; a Fuji Track Classic from 2015, or most of one. Missing the front wheel, original bars and rear brake. I was the only bidder, presumably because something that looks incomplete isn't popular? The clue that it should be OK was the yellow 'The Bikes College' sticker #tbcleeds
It's needing a good clean/check-over, the rear wheel truing, a bit of paint and some general maintenance. It'll have originally been one of these: https://www.evanscycles.com/fuji-track-2015-singlespeed-bike-EV211133
Plans? Oh, yes. The front mudguard lugs concern me a little for this but the aim is for use as a grasstrack / outdoor track bike (without the front brake), along with running as a medium gear TT bike (on 48x18 not 46x16). Track bars to go on once the paint's sorted with different wheels. We've a few spare track wheels so can use those, but none wide enough for a grasstrack tyre at the moment.
Given we've got my son's Langdale track bike, my Holdsworth track bike and the orange Carlton Corsa fixie conversion I think that's enough now
