After having my 07 Specialized Fuse IV only a couple weeks, my buddy built up a new Superstar, and after i rode it, i knew i'd have to sell my specialized.
i wanted a lighter bike with steeper angles than the fuse, and i knew it would be worthless to upgrade my fuse part by part if it was brand new anyways.
i realized i had made a mistake, and decided that i would build a new bike, to my specs, and just sell my fuse.
Well after ordering everything, i got most of my parts- just missing my frame and rear wheel, and then its done.

i'm 6'4, so thats why im running 21" tt, 8" bars.

if you're interested in a basically new Fuse IV, email me...i'm willing to make a deal.

looks sick, does this mean youll be selling your fuse cheap? I might be interested.

Good build, but I think you will find a 26T w 10T spins out too quick. For me at least, I like a 30T sprocket w 9T driver. or maybe I'm just weird..

Update:

Still waiting for BB, and Chain...and need to cut my bars, and spraypaint my pedals.

 

[Bicyclist]

Damn, looks good.

 

[Stoked]

so good. reminds me of my tonic

 

[sayndesyn]

Nice and Clean

Lookin smooth. I'm not sure you want to paint the pedals, though... it will wear off very quickly. Why not just buy a pair of black or white or blue?

 

[ServeEm]

Clean build, yea I'd go Cru's route. and I vote white

i said the same thing to a buddy of mine a year ago when he painted the same pedals black on his demo-he still uses them today on his bmx, and thye look like my gold pedals-but black---mostly silver anyways.

i figure i have these pedals, they are extremely light weight(JC's are another poudn heavier, arnt they?)

unless i throw down for white Fly pedals, i dont see a pedal that catches my eye and is light enough.

oh yeah...i brought it into the shop yesterday to get my brake dialed...weighed in at 19.2, no cranks, bb, chain, pedals.
cranks/bb=2lbs flat, pedals=17.5oz, chain=8oz, after its trimmed: hoping for high 22, low 23's.
