Fuji Track '08?
Hi!
Bought this fixed gear from an auction site. It's Fuji Track even though the decals are covered from the tubes. Been looking a track frame for some time. So here it is. Looks like all original, but I don't know about the bar. Should it have a drop bar or was it optional? There is some kind of masking tape over the decals on tt and dt. It can't be driven at the moment (no pedals), but for the price a must to have.
What kind of experiences have you had with the Fuji bikes, good or bad?
Should be much more fun compared to the Dunlop single speed...

It almost certainly came with drop bars. Probably track drops, which are, for me anyway, too deep for the street, and really awkward with brake levers mounted. It probably came with brakes, or A brake, too. It looks like the Dunlop is probably the wrong size for you, and the Fuji looks taller. For that reason alone you may like riding it more. Also, and I'm saying this because of the way both of those bikes are setup, when you setup your bike, set the saddle position to get your knees, feet, and legs in a comfortable position with good extension, do not adjust it if you can't reach the bars. If you can't reach the bars with the saddle in proper adjustment, change spacers and/or stem lengths and angles to get the bars into position.

Fuji's pics are taken by the seller. I hope, I'll get the bike on Monday to really get into it and make my own adjustments. The Dunlop is probably giving some of it's parts to Fuji. I sold my previous single speed and needed a rainy day drive. So it was quickly assembled together. It has a strange geometry. It feels much bigger than it actually is =21". Previous ss was 23", but of course older frame, some 30 odd years.

Here is a new pic of the Fuji. Still need to swap the drop bar from another bike and brakes.
