Don't assume that the Bianchi is any better than the Fuji. The name on the side is more and more meaningless nowadays, as both frames were probably made in either Taiwan or China. You need to see both bikes in person, and if possible, ride both to see whether it's a good fit for you. And BTW, I would never buy a bike that was listed with one very blurry picture. If the seller doesn't care enough to post good quality photos or even worse, deliberately uses a poor quality photo, walk away from it.

Hear, hear. The Roubaix frame has always been a particularly good platform, although Bianchi's Via Nirone is no slouch either. Go with the one that fits you better.
