I'm selling my Fuji bicycle for $300. It was originally a single speed, but I bought it off my mechanic and she (with her girlfriend) created a retro-direct. This means it is now a two gear bicycle. If you pedal BACKWARDS the bicycle moves forward in a LOWER gear, and when you pedal FORWARDS it moves forward in a HIGHER gear. This bike is super fast, and easy to ride.

When I first bought the bike there were minor issues with the retro-cog, but since the mechanic who built it cares so much about it, she had me ride it for a couple weeks, and give her notes on how it was riding. She then took the bike and remastered everything on it. It is now, VERY solid and has NO problems.

There are a couple quirky things with this bike you should know: Since the bike moves forward no matter which way you pedal, it restricts the bike from being able to roll backwards when not riding. (It seems like it would be annoying, but after a couple days you don't even notice.) Also, it should not be left in the rain. It's a very sturdy bike, however the mechanics are a prototype and will stay in the better condition longer if kept in doors.

This is not a FIXIE, there are front and rear breaks (brand new), a brand new chain, and it has just had a tune up. The tires are in good condition and could get a lot more riding out of them.

The paint isn't in great shape, but this cycle is a very solid running bike. It's a little heavy, but not terrible. I'm small (about 5'6), and not very strong- I have no troubles carrying it up three flights of stairs. **These pictures don't do it justice, you've got to try it out.**

If you have any other questions or would like to check out my bike please feel free to email me.

*Also, I am looking for a fixie, so if you have one you'd like to trade, please let me know!

I will take offers, but no low ballers ... only because this is a one of a kind and a lot of time has gone into it to make it as amazing as it is.
