    I don't know the model you speak of, but Fuji is a name thats been
    around for a pretty long time. I have a Fuji Ace that is pretty good.

    The bicycle is just as good company as most husbands and, when it gets
    old and shabby, a woman can dispose of it and get a new one without
    shocking the entire community. ~Ann Strong

    Good frame for the price IMO. Have a Fuji Professional (2005) that I
    like quite a bit and is nicely stiff without being brutal under my 210
    lb frame. I have ridden a hilly 200k with it and was fine with the
    climbing AND the comfort. The 2006 versions use a heavier weight
    carbon fabric that adds a few gms to the frame (C4, earlier is C7).
    Built up with Record/Chorus and my 36 hole OP wheels it's about 16 lbs
    (maybe less).

    I would say, however, that visually there is something about the
    geometry and tubing that puts me off. I look at it and something about
    the angles and tubing sizes just doesn't appeal to my aesthetic. But
    the ride is nice!

    Crazy thing is you can get one of these frames (new or basically new)
    for under $300 on ebay right now. The Team, Professional, and other
    Fuji carbon bikes all have the same frame. Different components and
    wheels.

    Very nice. Thats going to be my next ride. My bikes keep getting lighter
    and lighter. Started with a 35lb mtb, went to a 30lb hybrid now I ride
    my 22lb Fuji.

    More likely, the supply of these bikes exceeds the demand and the best
    financial position is to strip them down, sell the components and sell
    off the frames for what the market will bear. Hence, "basically new",
    i.e., built up but never used frames.
