I did some plumbing work at my LBS and the owner is offering me a 56cm Fuji Roubaix frame for $300 in exchange and i was wondering if this was good deal or a deal I shouldn't pass up. I dont no that much about Fuji bikes. My current bike is a Motobecane Grand Sprint the owner said it would be a big upgrade. Is this something I shouldn't let go? TIA!
 
please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Fuji, Motobecane, mercier, etc all made in Taiwan?
Prob same company etc?

Well I went ahead and got the Fuji, and its awsome I didnt think it would make a difference but the ride is so much smoother and when I get out of the saddle to climb it just faster. I know it sounds retarded but its a faster bike. And the owner of the bike store was telling me that Kinesis is the company that makes the Motobecane frame and they make that same frame for differnt bike brands like Jaymis I've never heard of this brand but the owner said he had the same frame with a differnt name on it and if you look at bikes direct the Windsor Kennet Road Bike the exact same frame as my 2005 or 2006 Motobecane grand sprint. So far I've only owned two road bikes so all I can say is the Fuji Roubiax SL is a much better bike then the motobecane grand sprint.
