Congratulations Fuji! You've created the ugliest production bike ever. Seriously, that thing looks like a horrible conversion with expensive parts.

probably a fair retail price considering lugged frame + nice components + nobody pays retail anyway.
but it takes all the fun out of building a conversion yourself.

Is that MSRP? Even if it's not, $1400 may not be bad at all, depending on what you're getting component-wise . I bet lots of people spend at least that much or more putting together similar bikes.
This is the second 2008 bike I've seen now that comes stock with a Brooks.

Good on Fuji. Taking all the guess work out of uglying up your bike. Now, if they could only get a non-matching shade of gold for the rims, it'd be perfect.

I like the fact it's lugged.

They must've bought a Ouija board and used it to channel Liberace when designing that bike. I'd like to throw that thing off a bridge.

It's OK.
The picture makes it look like it has an amazingly long wheelbase, and I'm just not a fan of the gold anodized components.

Every time I see gold parts on a bike, I'm always reminded of the fat lady at church when I was growing up. Covered in cheap junk jewelry, smelling like the most hideous vanilla perfume, and would never stop calling attention to herself. Gold on a bike is almost worse than pink. Almost.
