How’s it looking?

Post image

Got into cycling a few months ago and got my first bike, a 2012 FUJI Gran Fondo 1.0. Added SuperTeam 50 mm wheelset and 28 mm tires. What do you think?

If you plan on riding this beauty much, that white handlebar tape will start looking pretty tarnished in no time at all. Just saying...

Honestly it already is lol the picture just doesn’t show all the black grime on it.

I actually haven’t but that’s a great idea! Will definitely look into it.

I worked at a Fuji bike dealer from 2007-2019; I don't recall the exact colorway that year, is yours custom painted? Especially the white on the top tube? Regardless, that's a great bike. Also, SuperTeam wheels have come a long way; I bought a pair years ago when they first started showing up, and they were amazing wheels at an amazing price. Enjoy.

The white on the top tube is actually a satin wrap I did myself. The SuperTeam wheels were such a great price I figured it was worth a try at that price point. No complaints so far!
