Check out my effort to recognize US Servicemen and raise charitable contributions for the Marine League Charities. I could use all the help I can get. It is very worthy cause and only requires me to ride 65 miles off-road in single day, Flagstaff to Grand Canyon.

Club Fuji - Retro Mod I am nearly done building this bike for myself. This bike reminded me of a bike that I might have bought used as a first road bike. It is a 1987 Club Fuji and I enjoyed the fit and road feel the first time I rode it. It reminded me of my first "real" road bike which was a Tig welded Specialized Allez. This road bike project goal was to bring the classic look of the Club Fuji with some modern components to make a sweet sleeper of road bike. Retro Features include: Downtube shifting Aero brake levers Square taper crankset Original Nitto Quill and B115 Nitto Handlebar Original Club Fuji Frame and fork, spaced at 126mm, first year Fuji made a TIG welded front triangle Original Hatta Versa headset Original Sugino fluted and measured seatpost Modern Features include: Campy Mirage Crank with compact gearing 50/34 Miche Primato square taper bottom bracket Campy Mirage 9 speed drivetrain with stainless Wipperman Connex chain SRAM 9 speed cassette 11-21 Dura
