Hello I have this Fuji Aloha 1.0 bike in a 56cm. The drivetrain are upgraded a couple of levels up to make it faster and responsive. Its barely been used since I don't do much tri's. It has very low milage and never crashed. It comes FREE with LOOK style pedals and a water bottle cage. The body is aluminum but the seat posts and the forks are full carbon fibers. This bike is ready to go and searching for a new owner.
Im looking to trade this bike for an newer maybe 2004 and up Italian bike mainly Bianchi and Cinelli but feel free to offer me something worth it. I won't be able to add cash though. For cash offers I'm in for $975 and please don't lowball me but be fair enough. Cash would be ideal because I need to pay some medical bills.
Feel free to ask me questions.

I don't know if the LOOK pedals came stock... but size is close to yours. He says the size is 56cm.

somehow I don't think someone who's stealing stuff is going to take the time to put tri bars and a seatpack on a bike to try to sell it....

Yeah... I was thinking the same thing. Was worth a try. He does have a lot of details on the page. I'm just curious why the shoes clipped onto the pedals. Style points? Or trying to cover up something?

Don't know if a lock was used. OP mentioned that it was left on a porch where it's not visible. Either way man... hope you find it!!

Damn Rambo, all I can say is this is fucking horrible! I'll definitely keep a look-out for your bike and I'll let Javi & Erik know! This fucking sucks! You know what, it must have been someone you know or someone who knows that you leave it on her front porch every time. Cuz if you say her porch isn't visible, who else would know that you keep your bike there other than someone who knows you personally, someone who knows her personally or anyone around the area who just knows that you leave it there...
Sum it up, Rambo! And good luck!

@ijunes: i know , i know im still in denial, i guess it hasnt really hit me too hard atleast not YET..
@digable: ill be sure to check that ad but from the description it doesnt sound like it but ill take a look at it thanks alot for the try atleast..
@ruined: as digable said i had left it on a porch which isnt really visible to people .. but please keep an eye out thanks.
@tukang: thanks for letting me know ull keep an eye out..
@blaher: first of all thanks for the info it sounds like this might be the guy. did u say it had the same white riser bars with red oury grips? around what time did u see him?and did u say a white 08 or 09 tahoe with black rims...? again thanks alot ill try and look around there.. one more questio did it look like he lived around that area or like he just stopped for a moment and did u speak to him..?
@sal725: thanks alot .. can u do me a favor can u also let ur friend know that if anyone goes in there looking for a 650c tubular tire to let me know, thanks, again...
more details about the bike, the front trispoke is a 650c tubular wheel and these are rare to find , if u guys go to a bike shop can u let them know if anyone goes asking for that tire to let u or i know...also on the hub i scribed a small 'R' on the metal area...
the frame has a couple of scratches on it theres one that is very destinctive it is
located on the right side of the down tube at the top (where the main fuji logo is) the scratch kinda looks like a bullet also on the rear it has some chipped off paint it also might still have a sticker on the inner part of the fork on the left side a sticker of a hook-ups nurse also if for some reason they paint the bike u will be able to tell it was mine from the flat aero carbon seatpost.. the rear aerospoke can be recognized by signs of the lock ring thread being stripped if i remember correctly the track hub was black so u will notice the stripped part almost right away ....
sorry if ive added too many details i just want my bike back and im just trying to get every bit of information out there that will let u know that it is my bike .. even if they
were to part it out...
AGAIN THANKS ALOT EVERYONE REALLY THO
i really appreciate everyones concern..
