Hey guys im new and wanted a bike. I bought this fuji last night for 100, was it a bad idea? good or bad deal? no breaks on it and its a fixie

 

[andulong]

if it is not broken...as you say...must be okay.

 

[backupgrind1]

if it was...what would be broken?

 

[roscoe]

if it's really got no breaks, that's a steal at $100

 

[Toona]

ugh......!

brakes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

[backupgrind1]

Oh sorry I accidentally misspelled brakes. Did i get ripped off buying a bike without brakes for 100?

 

[andulong]

Sorry...I knew what you meant...I am just a smart ass and can't help it. If the bike is in good condition and fits well and you are happy with it...then sounds like a good deal.

Well, considering that the Absolute was originally a gear flat bar road bike, some one converted it into a fixie.

 

[Ventruck]

If you wanted a fixed gear bike, well that works.

 

[Sojourneyman]

doing the right thing would've been to donate the money for charity. I suppose you got a nice little bike though.

 

[backupgrind1]

so can I not turn it into a road bike?

A bike without breaks for 100... Don't see how you can loose! It seems you don't need our advise on the matter.

I used to have a Fuji Royale, the Absolute replaced it. Although there are three different offerings from Fuji, I think the top of thine line comes closest to the Royale which had a carbon fork, and seat stays. I loved my Royale, until someone ripped it off. It also had canti brakes, not sure about the one you have. For a flat bar bike is was fun! You should be able to get back to road bike status. I believe they came with triple chain ring, Truvativ cranks but a compact would be fine. I replaced mine with Campagnolo Mirage triple. The Shimano, flat bar combination brake/shifter levers worked great, but I was also looking to replace my system Campy's Mirage version.

In any case, I think you did good for $100. would be worth it to build up again...

Here's a pic of my Royale...
