PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER 2009. RACED IN 1 SPRINT AND THE MIAMI MAN HALF IRON DISTANCE EVENTS. GREAT BIKE. LIKE NEW. IT COMES AS IT WAS OUT OF THE BOX, EXCEPT FOR AN ADJUSTABLE HEADSET. THE SEAT IS BRAND NEW BECAUSE I HAD SWITCHED IT OUT WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THE ONLY SCUFFS I CAN FIND ARE ON THE CRANKS, WHERE MY SHOE RUBBED THE DECAL, AND ON THE BACK WHERE THE REAR WHEEL CLIPS IN. I SCUFFED IT SLIGHTLY WHEN PUTTING A RACE WHEEL ON ONE DAY. THE TIRES ARE LIKE NEW AND THE RIMS ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE BECAUSE I KEPT RACE WHEELS ON IT MOST OF THE TIME. THE BIKE HAS LESS THAN 600 MILES ON IT. LIST PRICE WAS $4,499. I PAID $4,300 + TAX, ETC FOR IT. I AM SELLING IT FOR $3,399.99 FIRM. I HAVE 3 BIKES AND AND RIDING THE OTHERS A LITTLE MORE THESE DAYS.
IT IS AVAILABLE TO VIEW LOCALLY AT JUPITER, FL. BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR PICK UP OR ADD $150 FOR SHIPPING AND INSURANCE.

It's all in the DETAILS.
The 2009 Fuji D-6 Carbon Triathlon Bike – the first project of Fuji's Delta-Six design lab – isn’t just a piece of carbon eye candy, it performs (and out-performs) like no other windcheater on the road today. Fuji focused on what matters: aerodynamics, stiffness, weight and fit, and then they took it to the next level. They added unique innovations that give the Fuji D-6 advantages never before seen in a time trial bike. The Fuji D-6 Professional uses a unique frameset, a semi-monocoque mold design using high modulus carbon fiber (Fuji’s C7+) with custom weave strands, aero-shaped tubes, internal cable routing and an extended seat tube. The fork is Fuji’s FC-440 carbon monocoque with integrated 1 1/8” carbon steerer and custom designed internal cable routing. The Fuji D-6 is one of the hottest looking tri bikes on the market.
FEATURES:
Aerodynamics. Fuji began by exploring aerodynamic profiles put out by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and applied that knowledge using CFD fluid modeling and wind tunnel experimentation. The D-6 excelled, putting it squarely on the map as a top aerodynamic performer. One of the most intriguing and, surprisingly, unique findings was that the drag coefficient actually decreased when the wheels were spinning as compared to stationary.
Stiffness. A frequent comment from professional athletes was the need to maximize power transfer from rider to bike, without wasting precious energy fighting and recovering from every bump in the road. The D-6’s semi-monocoque carbon design, meticulous carbon layup procedure, and choice of high-modulus fibers give the frame stiffness without sacrificing torsional and vertical compliance. The result? Comfortable performance.
Fit. Optimal bike fit is, well, personal. Different athletes have different requirements. Triathletes, for example, need geometry that allows for a smooth transition into the run, and TT specialists may ride a position that feels like their regular road bikes. Fuji tackled this issue by designing a bike that accommodates multiple fit needs. Six frame sizes cover riders from 4’9” (1.4 meters) to 6’5” (1.9 meters ) and the independent adjust (iA) saddle clamp provides a range of seat tube angles from 74 to 80 degrees. Add to this the most up-to-date stack and reach requirements, and you’ve got the perfect platform to find your optimal mix of efficiency and aerodynamics.
Weight. Bike weight is important. And while sometimes confusing or misleading, it should be straight forward, so here’s the nitty gritty as it applies to the D-6. A 56cm (size M/L) D-6 Professional frame weighs in at 1390 grams and the fork, 398 grams – this includes all bonded parts, paint and decals. Compare that to the raw frame weighing in at 1065 grams and the raw fork at 392 grams. The complete bike, as spec’d, weighs 17.7 lbs (7.9 kg). So, when you’re comparing weight and stiffness – and Fuji encourages you to – be sure you are comparing apples to apples.
UNIQUE REAR BRAKE HOUSING While some companies are placing the rear brake in the bottom bracket area to remove it from the wind, Fuji opted for an innovative approach to the traditional seat stay position: a unique brake cavity integrated into the carbon mold. Not only does this accomplish the same aerodynamic purpose, it allows the brake to remain easily accessible. It also increases overall stiffness. By beefing up, and therefore stabilizing, the top tube/seat mast/stay junction, the relationship between that area and the BB area is reinforced, resulting in unparallel direct drive ride quality.
INTERNAL FRONT BRAKE CABLE ROUTING While Fuji is not the first engineering team to determine that placing the brake behind the fork crown would minimize frontal area turbulence, Fuji is the first to remedy the excess turbulence caused by the brake cable housing in the front of the head tube. Fuji created a unique internally routed cable that runs through the fork and out to the brake. To do this, Fuji had to develop a new compression assembly that would allow the cable to run through the fork. This custom designed construction allows adjustments to be made to the headset using a standard tool.
INDEPENDENT ADJUST (Ia) SADDLE CLAMP Because Fuji incorporated a seat mast into the D-6 design, they opted to go with an external seat post rather than a traditional internal one. This design increases strength and stiffness at the seat post/top tube/down tube junction. Fuji also added a unique saddle clamp that allows independent adjustment (iA) of fore/aft, tilt and rail ompression. Other systems only allow you to make adjustments by loosening the clamps, so consequently you end up losing your fore/aft or tilt position. Fuji’s new iA system allows you to easily replace your saddle or make independent fore/aft or tilt adjustments while maintaining your preferred riding position.
COMPONENTS AND SPECIFICATIONS:
Main frame: Monocoque High Modulus C7+ carbon with custom weave carbon strands and aero shaped tubes, Internal cable routing, EST (extended seat tube), Integrated aluminum cupped head tube, Double water bottle mounts
Rear triangle: High Modulus C7+ carbon aero stays w/ BC (brake cavity) design, cold forged dropout with replaceable hanger
since you have other bikes I am looking for a D6 to ride in my first half ironman in may. I have a sportscard collection with over 30,000 cards I am selling to buy a bike....would you be willing to make a trade? The card collection is well worth the bike price.
