Fixie frame found, Fuji Questions, and WTB fixie cranks, wheels,bb, seat,& rear rack
Eric St. Mary wrote: I would like to thank all who offered advice and their bikes for my fixie project. I picked up a mid 80's Fuji Del Ray frame set on Ebay for $33. I has nice long horizontal dropouts, valite tubing (which I believe is triple butted), every braze on imaginable, is already 130mm spaced, and is kind of ugly, which is good in my book for a commuter bike. What size seat post does this frame take? I've got 3 mid-80's Fujis. I do not know why. 2 have 26.3 seatposts and the other has something a bit smaller with a soda pop can used as a shim. I'll bet yours needs a 26.3. Is the BB threading English? Yes. I think I'm going to be able to get a 105 front brake (will this work with 700C wheels?) I'd bet current generation 105 brakes wouldn't reach. I might lose that bet, though. Do current generation shimano calipers have long enough bolts to reach through the fork? The old fork wasn't built for the recessed allen nuts. |
