Mt. Fuji Team RC Mountain bike-SOLD

Update: Sold this to a work colleague. He seems to be enjoying it and I had no use for a mountain bike after all. So it was back again with a new mountain bike. And another Fuji at that. I keep this up in Asheville to ride the trails and fire roads. It's a carbon frame Mt. Fuji Team RC. Built it from the frame up. It was a backup racing frame that I got a great deal on from Chapel Hill. Mavic disk wheels, mixed Shimano drivetrain: Deore hydraulic brakes and RD, LX cranks, XT shifters and FD. 100mm suntour fork. Ridiculously light for a mountain bike. Right around 20 lbs.
