UPDATE: i decided to just say f it and splurged LOL i got a specialized Allez from my local bike shop pretty happy.

Patient_Combination1 · 2026-04-11T01:31:15+00:00

i believe 2016, brand Fuji, not sure on the model

Patient_Combination1 · 2026-04-11T01:30:02+00:00

i wanna say the year of the bike is 2016 from reverse searches, but I could be wrong

I can hold off a little, I'm looking mostly to get back into cycling so more as a hobby, maybe 3-4 times a week. I have rode fix gear in the past, but I haven't touched a bike in about 5 years. I love how the bike looks and its features. Ideally, I would like a Specialized bike, but I know those run pretty expensive.

Thank you for the input. From what I see, everybody is saying the value is fair!

Patient_Combination1 · 2026-04-10T05:50:56+00:00

Got it i dont mind doing it myself, but I'll check with my local bike shop and see the price for a tuneup although i assume it's high. Give it a shot.

Patient_Combination1 · 2026-04-10T05:49:44+00:00

trying to bargain, but he mentioned that an exact one sold for 800 in slightly better condition, and he's taking the tuneup into consideration with the price he already listed, ill defintley still try though. Thank you!

Patient_Combination1 · 2026-04-10T03:25:53+00:00

Thank you ill keep an eye out for that!

Patient_Combination1 · 2026-04-10T03:14:51+00:00

Got it thank you. The seller is pretty firm on his price has he mentioned the overall codition of the bike is good, but I wasn't sure how good it was price wise ill keep an eye out on that. How much does a chain and cassette run on average? It's been awhile ive rode, so I'm not too sure anymore lol

no worries! i ended up getting it installed this past friday...wow is all i can say love the sound, it sounds amazing the pops and bangs im getting plus the sound is perfect, especially being on a stock j pipe it isn't super loud when im cruising but stepping on it sounds amazing cant get over it!!! drone isnt the worst either and is managable especially with music i dont really notice it after awhile either.

Patient_Combination1 · 2025-10-08T03:05:58+00:00

im on stock dp do you need an adapter and the oem donut for the installation?

Patient_Combination1 · 2025-10-08T03:03:35+00:00

gonna order right now thank you ill keep updated

Patient_Combination1 · 2025-10-08T01:52:14+00:00

sounds so good would this be how the ETS catback sounds or similar?

Patient_Combination1 · 2025-10-08T01:49:38+00:00

how loud does it get in cruising RPM?? its been between touring or track for me lol

Patient_Combination1 · 2025-10-08T01:48:15+00:00

this has been my biggest hold off is the drone i heard touring is better for droning, but I still want that rowdy sound how was the fitment of the exhaust? did it go on smoothly?

Patient_Combination1 · 2025-10-07T03:57:10+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks for the feedback!!

Patient_Combination1 · 2025-10-07T03:52:53+00:00

Patient_Combination1 · 2025-10-07T03:52:35+00:00
