'05 Fuji Professional - Opinions?

[[email protected]]

Saw it in a small hole-in-the-wall LBS. Been looking at some
Specialized Roubaix and others. I was surprised to see the Fuji Pro
comes with some DA 10 and a full carbon frame for $2440.00. All the
other bikes I've looked at that are full carbon and mostly DA 10 are
well over 3K. Not sure of Fuji as I don't see them being sold in the
larger, well established joints that sell Trek, Specialized, Merlin,
Orbea, Griffins and such.

I've been impressed with Fuji's price/performance for years. Don't
know about the Pro, but I've been happy with my Touring Series.

The Fuji Professional MSRP is $3,500 - at $2440 you're right, it's an
excellent deal.

The next model up the Fuji line, the Team Issue, is used by the
professional Nurnburger team, as reviewed here:

Fuji is good stuff, priced well. A lot of places that sell those brands
might have trouble explaining why they cost more than a Fuji that performs
as well and uses the same parts.

I have an '02 Fuji Roubaix Pro that absolutely rocks.
