I don't mean to speak for Roadtrip, but my guess is:
While the FX is a heavier bike than the carbon Ruby, the FX has lower gearing, so while it doesn't have as much "zoom" as the Ruby, it makes climbing easier.

DBF got me into it, but when he got into it, his parents subsidized his hobby (road bike, upgrading the crap out of that bike, new road bike, upgrading the crap out of that bike, fitting, etc). Was not prepared at all for the $$--luckily I got a cushy summer job that year that let me get everything I needed and a little more.
