I just got home from Performance bicycle in Boulder with a 2003 Fuji Roubaix. I paid $630 for it, which I think is a great deal. It was either gonna be that, or a 2004 specialized allez sport for $770. I figured the fuji was a much better bike and it cost less, so it was a no-brainer. This bike is replacing a 80's Trek with full campy record components that I've been riding for the last year. It is good bike, but it's a poor fit, and also seen better days. Last night I put the Fuji on layaway, and the salesman said that right after I left some guy came in who had finally decided to go ahead and get it. Good thing I acted quick. I'm just excited, so figured I'd share my joy with the rest of you.

The Roubaix is a beautiful piece of machinery. Congratulations, and you got a super deal!

They had the pro, but it wasn't my size and it was a couple hundred dollars more. I am very happy with my puchase. I am amazed at the diference a properly fitted bike with new technology can make.

That's a great deal. I bought a 2003 Roubaix last May. It's a fine bike, and I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

I bought a Roubaix Pro at end of December and have enjoyed putting 500 miles on it since then. Good value, nice bike. Enjoy.
