Hey surfergirl4god!
I also very new to cycline, so my first road bike i bought on ebay ( raleigh cycle pro). I have an old model but i am very happy with the bike, even though it's not hight tek bike and it was very cheap, I think it's perfect for someone who like me just learning. I never tried Fuji so can't tell you anything about it. I hope you find the perfect match for yourself. Good luck with looking.
