a Recreational RiderDate Reviewed: November 24, 2010
Strengths: Light, fast, smooth gear changes at any moment, comfortable Fuji saddle w/ titanium rails, Vitoria Rubino Pro tires fast, smooth and impossible to wear out.Weaknesses: My only regret is that I didn't buy 2 of them. I honestly can't think of a single weakness on any level with this bike.Bottom Line: This 2002 Team Fuji is truly the finest bike I've ever owned, and I am delighted by it's never failing performance every time I ride. I bought it new in early 2003 and I wouldn't trade it for the 2010 model at twice the price. In the 7 years that I've owned it, the only thing I've changed is the tape on the bars, and a new set of tires. I stayed with the Vitoria Rubino Pro in yellow which match the frame, and performs amazingly fast and smooth. The 2002 Team Fuji looks and performs like the day I first got it. If you can find one buy it. You won't be disappointed. I can't imagine ever selling mine.
Favorite Ride: NYC 5 Boro tour, 60 mile charity tour.

$1500.00

Strengths: Components, build, design, materials, value.Weaknesses: Not the sexiest name.Bottom Line: I got a used Team on Ebay with fantastic components. It probably had been raced, lots of miles. But it is very light, comfortable. I use it for long training rides, and for rain and poor weather. I've logged about 4,000 miles on the bike so far, with one tune-up. Fuji is a great value!

Strengths: Weight, price and comfort ... and it is still a pretty fast bike.Weaknesses: Some of the Ritchey components have been noisy, but nothing a good cleaning or tune-up didn't fix.Bottom Line: This is a follow review to the one I posted in December of 2003. I have logged over 6,000 miles on this bike in the past 20 months and I still love it. True, I did swap the bars and stem for wider and longer, but otherwise it is still stock. Even the Ritchey OCR wheels and have exceeded my expectations and I will keep them as training/back-up wheels when I upgrade later this season. Overall, still very satisfied with this bike. Great value, very good quality.

Strengths: Lightweight. Ultegra smooth. Ritchey Aero Road wheels are great.Weaknesses: Zip so far.Bottom Line: I bought a new 2002 model in 2004 so I got it cheap and received tremendous value...full Ultegra and just over 17 pounds for a 64cm. It is hard enough to find tall bikes, let alone lightweight ones. Great combo of comfort and stiffness for such light weight.
The wheels were spot-on true right out of the box and they are super smooth. I was going to take off the goofy, yellow Rubino tires, but I really, really like their performance.
Kudos to bikesdirect.com...my third bike from them. No hassles and great prices. I highly recommend.

Strengths: Nice paint and graphics, one of the best I've seen. Great Ultegra components (front, rear der. crank, chainrings, cassette, brake calipers and levers/shifters. You can't bet the value if you can still locate this bike. Bike went together quickly. No damage in shipping.Weaknesses: You may need to true the wheels. I'm OK so far but may tweak them a little after a few more rides. Seat may take some getting used to.Bottom Line: This bike was a super value for the price I paid. This is a 2002 model but a sticker on the box with the bikes serial no. indicated it was made Sept. 2003? I know Fuji banned it's dealers from selling new bikes on the Internet after 2002 so maybe this was a way to still get their dealers some "Internet" bikes? Sprtymama@aol.com sold me this bike. She is user sprtymama on Ebay with almost 5,000 positives feedbacks. I highly recommend her. Your local bike shop can't touch her prices.
The bike is great. For my first ride I took it on the Marquee de Sade, a club training ride for The Assualt on Mt. Mitchell NC. I had no problems on this 80+ mile initial ride. I did change out the cassette from the stock 12-23 to a 12-27 for the mountains. The bike is smooth, light and shifts like butter. My frame didn't flex and I weight 190lbs. The tires cost $39 each at Nashbar!
