Strengths: Price!!
Ultegra/105!!
Reynolds 853!!
Florida long summer!!Weaknesses: The M-Wing seat (titanium rails and leather cover) needed to be placed (on my butt request) in the garbage basket after couple of rides.
What a waist of titanium.Bottom Line: Was looking for Ultegra 853 bike.
And since dealer did not have Marceille we came to the solution to install all Ultegra and Ritchey Pro (M-Wings seat post and seat from $1600 Motobecane) parts on Roubaix Pro.
I compared this bike to Ultegra LeMond and did not find any differences except $450 on the price tag.
It's almost 2000 miles on the bike and
I do not have any regrets I did not spend extra money on the more expensive brand.
My wife did not want to spend extra money on Ultegra and rides stock 105 bike and makes me feel sometimes I should do the same. Either 105 or Ultegra this is a great bike.
Price Paid:
$1095.00

Strengths: Shamano 105, 853 Reynolds steel frame. Good price. Excellent value for the dollar.Weaknesses: Rear wheel needed to be trued.Bottom Line: I researched the road bikes both locally and on the Internet for months. This Fuji was a standout. Great 105 Shamano group. 853 Reynolds frame. Super pricing on Ebay.
So far I haven't been dissapointed. I've ridden this bike about 200+ miles and it's surpassed my expectations.
I enjoy state tours so the smoother steel frame with carbon fork will make the long mileage less harsh.
Favorite Ride: Cycle South Carolina

Strengths: The 853 steel frame and carbon fork.Weaknesses: Seat take awhile to break in.Bottom Line: Has an incredable smooth ride with the top quality 853 steel. Compared to the Specialized Allez Comp I tested, this is a much better riding bike. The Allez is light and fast, but you feel every little ripple in the road. The steel frame on the fuji is so nice to ride on that 5-6 hour rides are not a problem. Quality parts group with full 105 group and carbon fork. This is a great bike at a great price.
Favorite Ride: Any road or trail

Strengths: 105 group is evry bit as good as Ultegra. Steel ride w/carbon fork is very comfortable. Bought the bike new for 800.00.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: I was looking for a steel bike after finding my aluminum frame to harsh. First ride on this bike was a metric century and I found the ride to be extremely comfortable without the buzzing that I normally feel up through the seatpost. I could not tell the difference between Ultegra and the 105 group. You can pick up a complete bike on ebay for around 800.00.
Favorite Ride: Local training ride
