I have an abandoned Fuji roubaix 1.0 road bike that I was gonna give away for parts till a friend of mine told me that it was a high end bike with both light weight aluminum and carbon fiber components .

Problem is that the bike has a slightly bent rear wheel and the rear derailleur is damaged so it needs to be replaced ..... So does anyone know of a bike shop where I can get this bike fixed up and not get mugged in the process??

It's really light weight and I would love to ride it around .

All help is appreciated .

If the rear deraileur is bent and the rear wheel is out of true the bike probably got hit by a car. Make sure there are no cracks in the chain stays or seat stays before you go bombing around on it. Also the rear der can attach to the frame in a couple different ways. If it is a replaceable hanger you are fine and 15 bucks will fix it. If not and it is an aluminum frame you are kinda screwed.

Yes this bike was hit by a car and abandoned outside of my emergency room!! The stars in te derailur are messed up but it functions I spin the wheels and it switched gears but I rather replace the whole thing and the hangar is straight as can be and the seat post and frame are all nice and straight so I may do the chain , derailur , and new wraps on it and true the rear rim . What do you figure that can run me??
