How Do All ;-)

Here I have for sale my Challenge Fujin SL1, Low Racer "Jaffa"

Please see my site for full details and pictures:

http://ropeandcanvas.blogspot.com/2019/02/challenge-fujin-sl1-low-racer-jaffa-for.html





This is, or was my track and race bike, it is in Excellent condition, with only two areas of cosmetic damage (Honest details in the description and pictures) and a beautiful Pearly Jaffa Orange paint finish!


I used the bike for training at the local track (Hillingdon Cycle Circuit) twice a week, and raced in a very occasional BHPC race, as I'm not really into racing.

I have decided to sell the bike now as I have not ridden it since preparing it for racing and not actually racing it last year, and I'm not really interested in racing again, so would rather let it go to someone that will make proper use of it.



This bike is fully and properly serviced, set up and adjusted and is ready to ride today! with no further tinkering or twiddling needed, unless you want to of course!

Please note:

The pedals are not included with the sale but will be left on to test ride unless you have your own preferred pedals.



There is an area of cosmetic damage on the right side of the seat, this was from the seat back being sat on and bending the side of the seat, done when the bike had a fixed tiller making it awkward to get down on it, this was "repaired" by a previous owner, by unnecessarily drilling the side of the seat and adding an unnecessary strengthening bar without straightening the seat. I removed this and the flaked paint to make sure the seat was sound and then straightened the side of the seat out, the seat is completely sound and needs no further strengthening, I chose not to paint "hide" the damaged area, as this is a race bike and I would rather show the damaged area to a buyer than hide it from them. (see pictures for details)



The top of the front mech post has some paint chipping. (see photo)



Under the front right seat mount some paint was removed when the chain came off the power idler due to a badly made chain keeper, this I have painted and made a proper fitting idler! (see picture)



This is a gorgeous bike and needs no cleaning, work or improvements, you can race off into the sunset with no worries at all! other than adjusting leg length.

If I have missed anything or you have any questions, please feel free to ask!



Please see all the pictures for a full 360 visual examination.



I am more than happy to have anyone come visit me and examine the Jaffa without obligation. I am in the Heathrow Villages area Hillingdon, Middlesex.
