I bought this back in February to use as a fast day ride and light touring bike. I already own another Fujin SL (Jaffa) for use at the track and love them both! being a bit of a magpie; I can't resist buying pretty bikes when I see them :-)
I am selling this bike as I have 7 bikes and trikes, and having two Fujin's is just one to many at the moment.

The bike has done less than 1000 miles since new in 2010. and is in pretty much immaculate condition with no chips or damage to the paint work! please see all the detailed pictures!

I have updated the chain line from the original which only had one return idler and a poor chain line under the seat, this now has a very nice chain line with no interference of the power side idler as in the basic model.
I have also added brand new Jagwire cable housings a new stainless steel inner wires.

This bike is fully and properly set up and adjusted and is ready to ride today! with no further
tinkering or twiddling needed, unless you want to of course!

Crankset is a FSA Gossemer with 30, 39, and 52 teeth rings. also included is a Driveline alloy chain guard. The cranks have been shorted to 140mm which is my preference, and a great knee saver!

Challenge headrest, which I have fitted using my tried and tested fitting method which is lighter that the challenge fixing kit, and does not rattle like the challenge fitting method. I will include the Challenge fittings also, and the holes are in the seat sides to fix these if you wish to.
The bike is Data Tagged with a UV stealth system and have 4 invisible UV markers on the frame seat and fork. this also comes with 1000 microdots in a UV solution to apply to all the components which I have not done yet. these will be included for you to apply at your own discretion. the Data Tag paperwork will be provided for transfer of ownership if required.

This is a gorgeous bike an needs no cleaning, work or improvements, you can ride off into the sunset with no worries at all!

How much does it cost to Oldham?
Wow. If I had some spare I'd have that it's gorgeous.

A few weeks ago I was looking for a nice lowracer, and the Fujin SL was on my short list. But from my signature, you can see I'm now a happy Raptobike owner.....would've preferred a rear drive machine though, ther front wheel slips too often for me! Good look with the sale, looks a minter and if I had the money.....


I'm after trying shorter cranks though, so if you do sell the bike without them, can I have 1st refusal?

No worries ;-)
I used to own a bike called the Cuckoo Raaa. Front wheel drive (see my sigpic?) Really liked it for the track but I don't race really so sold it. I still have my original Fujin (Jaffa) for the track and occasional race though.
Front wheel drive does take some understanding to get the most out of it.

If the cranks don't go with the bike I will let you know.

Take care,
Barry ;-)

Maybe it had sold before the dibs, just the OP hadn't had a chance to update the thread. It had been for sale for several weeks, possibly elsewhere too

Thank you kindly for saving me the trouble to explain. Much appreciated!

The bike was advertised in many places, and the buyer contacted me over a week ago to view the bike.

So first dibs counts for everything!
You snooze, you lose :-D
