Hello everyone!
I've looked and looked around the internet for reviews/opinions of the 2005 Fuji Bordeaux road bike. Having found none, I now come out of lurking mode to ask the most intelligent of women-type masses...is there anyone here with an opinion? It is an entry-level type road bike (that's me!) Here are the details:
FRAMESET: Fuji Altair 2, 7000 Series Aluminum Frame
FORK: Fuji Carbon Road Fork with Cro-Moly Steerer
DRIVETRAIN: Shimano Tiagra/105 with FSA Gossamer Crankset, 30/42/52T Chainrings
WHEELSET: Alex AKX Rims
COCKPIT: Fuji Superlite
SIZE: XS (44), S (48), M (51), L (54)
COLOR: Fused Blue
WEIGHT: 19.6 lbs
Is there anyone here riding this bike? If so, how do you like it? It seems like it has pretty good components for the money ( $900.00, US).
My next question is this...Will I know when I try the bike that is for me? Will there be an Ah Hah! moment, or will this be a best-guess situation? I've tested several road bikes, but I don't have a great sense of what I'm looking for. I've been riding a mtn bike on the road (this is hilly country) and I would like to upgrade to a road bike so that greater distances and speeds will be in my grasp. I have no aspirations for racing, but I would like to try local events like the assault on Marion and Blood, Sweat, and Gears (in NC).
So, any Fuji riders out there?
Thanks!
