Ever heard of Fugi Bikes?
To disable ads, please log-in.
Hi all
I have not been here for awhile but I need expert opinions like all of you.
I am looking for a new bike to get re-inspired and found a new bike shop here in Appleton that sells Fugi bikes.
They are made in Madision.
Anyone heard of these?

Well Fuji bikes are from Japan...so I'm guessing that wasn't a typo. Sounds suspiciously like they're trying to rip off the brand name though. Fujis are good as far as I know at least. My dad has one and loves it (although it doesn't fit him as well as his Giant).

This shop's site talks about Fugi bikes, but they're in NZ. Mebbe they spell it differently.

That's a typo on the web page - those are Fuji bikes.
In any cased, I'm pretty sure they are made in Taiwan like the majority of big brand bikes these days...... the parent company is Japanese, with an American division.
I had a Fuji Provence. It was the first bike I ever owned that really fit properly. I liked it and I thought it was a very good value for the price."Sharing the road means getting along, not getting ahead" - 1994 Washington State Driver's Guide

My first bike was a Fuji Roubaix...it was a great bike, it was just too big for me. You can really get a lot of bike for your money when you buy Fuji.

My sister still rides her red Fuji road bike she bought in the 80's. It's a great bicycle.
Tis better to wear out than to rust out....

I have 2 Fuji's, the Finest and the Roubaix. I love my Roubaix..The finest was my first purchase and is okay but not as comfortable for me as the Roubaix is. That was more due to fitting or lack of fitting by the bike shop I think. I've had it to another shop and it gets tweaked a little more for the better each time.Both bikes have been mechanically fine with no complaints or problems as of yet. I've done century rides on both and have no intention of getting rid of either one.
