Passed smog. Found documents of the last test in 2013 and it was parked since. Guy I bought it from would just drive it around the neighborhood every couple years because he couldn't pass it. Told me it probably needed a new catalytic converter...
Hello
I am in search of original wheels for a 1997 FZJ80 series Collectors edition.
Looking for the brushed silver with gunmetal insert.
Here is a pic of what I am looking for.
I need three or if you have a set that would be great.
Thank you
New build! This is a super funk build. Frame is a 1983 Cannondale ST-500 sport tourer, first year they made bikes which is cool. I had a Mavic 851 rear derailleur I fell in love with and really wanted to use. But I wanted to run a triple. So I...
It’s a Fuji nothing special. It was just a quick project to bring it back to life. But Thank you!
The owner of property where it came from is buying it back. Just what I put into it.
Old school Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra for me!
Settled on that after building up an old Colnago, an Allan Record Carbonio and a 1972 Mercian.
Used to be a hobby….build, ride for a season or two then sell.
The Merckx rode so well it became the...
Picked up this old Fuji road bike from a friends property that was among a pile a scrap metal. Heading for the trash. So I figure I take it home and give it a new life.
Here it is. Before and after.
I sold this bike last spring, and had not thought about a bike since. Slow day in the office Friday and I typed "Surly" into the FB marketplace search and there she was for sale again. Had to be fate, so I bought it back. Did 2 rides over the...
Just driving this thing like a normal car - put on about 600 miles or so since I got it registered and insured. No big issues to speak of. Cleared all the old brake fluid earlier today from both the brakes and clutch. Filled the tank all the way...
Just to answer your bike rack question on another platform. I have a QuikRstuff similar to 1up for our bikes but with several upgrades that 1up didn't do. It clears the spare tire. I've had several racks over the years trying to find the "one"...
Your photo with the bike gave me nostalgia for years past when I used to ride often. Sold the bike a little over a year ago due to lack of use. Slow Friday in the office today so I hopped on marketplace and typed in "Surly". There it was, the...
I paid too much for mine in retrospect but had an insurance settlement and had the cash to spend (kind of a "life's too short" post accident purchase). I'll be sinking more money into it to make it how I want and probably will get less than I...
Economy sucks. I'd say at this point a 40 is strictly a toy which adds another layer of complications when going to sell them.
Funny enough I'm finally in the market for my 1st 40. Been watching marketplace loosely for about a year, there's...
I disagree, educated buyers prefer the mechanically dialed in original 40 over the shiny South American turds or domestic restorations with zero documentation. The mostly original well sorted 40 will hold it's value while the turds will come...
I would love to rotate one of mine to “reinvest” it into another project but now is definitely still not the time to sell and expect to recoup your money. I think we hit the market correction and prices will be slow to rise on anything other than...
Prices and demand is definitely down for anything FJ40 that isn’t high end built/restored. Those of us that have good running rigs with lots of $$$ invested in the mechanics but not as much in the shiny stuff will realize less resale value than...
Ive seen parts on marketplace coming back down in price, more being listed and they are staying posted longer, which is nice for me as Im still working on mine (and my collection of things I dont need, but may some day.)
Two things happened at...
There are a few that I think are reasonably priced. That have had extensive work done to them. And have upgraded driveline wise but body wise need a little attention.
And still no one wants them.
Do people still want to pay $5k for said...
