Strengths:    Stable. Responsive. No problem with my weight. Relatively comfortable for 25 mile rides. Shifts smooth and precise. Convenient and easy shifters. I like the way it looks.

Weaknesses:    Seat - It has a couple of cracks in the surface after three seasons.

Bottom Line:   
Input would only allow me to enter 2007 bike, but I am pretty sure it is a 2008. I hadn't ridden regularly since I was a teenager and was (am) overweight - started at 235 and am down to 210 since I bought the bike. I didn't realize how much I missed cycling until I got on the bike. I cycle 13 miles 5-days a week and get in a 23 mile ride once a week. I love the Absolute 3.0. Stable. Comfortable. Gears shift great (after the intial adjustment after a few rides) and the front ring can adjust between gears to get exactly where I need it (since I am technically cross chaining). I have hit about 30 mph going down hill on a curve and the ride is smooth and stable. Can do between 21 mph and 23 mph on the flats for extended periods. I needed to use the smallest front ring when I started, but only use the large front ring now. The adjustable handlebar height is great since one can lower it as one gets faster to lower wind resistance. My rear wheel needed to be replaced this year since it was out of true - most likely as a result of a spill that I took. Great bike for the money and has been a good fit for me from starting cycling again to building up fitness. As the next step up to a road bike I'm thinking about the Fuji Roubaix 1.0 in the next year or so.

Strengths:    Fast, balanced

Weaknesses:    brakes broke, and chain would dis-mount

Bottom Line:   
I bought the Fuji Absolute 2.0 2010 model and it immediately had disc brake problems. The shop mechanic canabilized another 2.0 to get discs and got me on the road. Then, the shifters wouldn't work because they're mis-matched - the front is for a 24-speed, and the rear is for a 27-speed. So, the highest gear was always shooting the chain off the gears!

After hours of mechanical difficulties that couldn't be resolved by professionals, I returned this one... and the shop is also sending back the other 2.0's because it appears that it was bad batch.

Strengths:    read review

Weaknesses:    either my buns are getting bigger or seat is too narrow . the seat fits the bike shape perfectly
170#
_____________________________
for comfort, could include a adjustable head


Bottom Line:   
2009 model.
had a 2.0 upgraded to 1.0. it's a road rocket. for teh additional $ the components are more than worth the xtra. all 105 components, sealed crank, 30 speed.
I did add an adjustable head to raise the handlebar at bit. disgarded the toe clips as dangerous.
smoothe ride, instant shifting, quiet and LIGHT wt. 4 # less than 2.0
well constructed.
it's a road bike with flat handle bar.

Strengths:    Value!!! After looking at many bikes, I felt the Fuji provides better componets for the money. Many dealers say that you are paying for the frame when you buy a bike. So maybe the Fuji frame is not of the same quality as Trek, Specialized, etc, but it works for me at this point.



Weaknesses:    Mounting screws for bottle rack on seat tube are so high that I can not fit a regular water bottle on seat tube. I have to use the shorter water bottle and it barely fits with about 1/8" of clearance. My frame is the 17" and this may not be a problem on larger frames.

No other complanints.


Bottom Line:   
My bike is a 2008 Absolute 1.0.

I'm 50 years old, 70 lbs overweight, and am new to cycling.

I am extremely pleased with the Absolute 1.0. I've got about 200 miles on it with group rides ranging from 14 to 21 miles. I'm very comfortable on the bike including the stock saddle.

Wheels are getting out of true, but my 230 lbs is probably the main reason for that.

All in all, I'm very satisfied with the bike and would recommend it to all. If someone stole it today, I would imediately go out and order a new one just like it from my local Fuji dealer.

Purchased At:   Craigslist

Similar Products Used:   I test road Trek 7.5 amd 7.9 FX bikes. The high end Treks were too expensive for me and the lower end Treks contained too many low end componets for my taste. I also test rode the Felt Speed 30 which was a great bike and fit perfectly, but the Fuji won out based on higher end shifters.



Bike Setup:   All stock with exception of stem riser and Forte Shovel platform pedals.
