Wow, that is one word that describes the feel and ride of this wonderful bike.  Fuji makes wonderful bikes and now it makes excellent bikes.  I ride a FUJI SL (superlight), color of brushed alluminum, with Ultregra compoenents.  I took it my local 7% incline hill, and a ride that normally takes me 2 hours to do took me an hour and a half.  I used to ride a cannondale R700 which was under 18 lbs, but this fuji blows it out of the water.


Sure people might say that I can lose weight instead of spending the extra 500 dollars.  Im sure you can, but im sorry to say that it IS the bike.  The bike makes up the rider.  My averages on this bike were 16.5, 16.8, and 17.1 on the same ride monday, wed, and thursday of last week.  they were all 40 mile bike rides, the same averages I took on my heavier cannondale were 15.5, 16.0, 15.9.  Almost a whole 1 mph difference in average.

I have the 2005 version of the FUJI SL, which is very awsome looking.  but the 2006 version is called the ROUBAIX SL which is as light as the FUJI SL!  Do yourself a favor and ENDULGE in this wonderful bicycle.  You will learn to love it, like I have.  I am now just waiting for this terrible "winter" weather to die down before I can go ahead and endulge myself on a ride!  thanks for reading!

Compoenets: FULL ULtegra bicycke, SLK compact carbon crank, and American Classic Super light hubs wheelset.  freaking awsome bike!
