So there's a sale where I am and has the 2004 Fuji SupeLite $ 999.

Question is.. is there a weight limit on the bike?
I heard it was because of the 2003 wheelset, but not anymore.. I also am getting conflicting reports too.

Anyone got any other thigns to say on this bike? I don't think I can refuse this deal..

I'm 5'11" and 220lbs.. ride 40-mi a day average commuting fast on hills and flats. Average speed is 17.9mph

Thanks

the website says this: it's race-able (unless you're a Clydesdale).
man that's a great deal though...even if you couldn't ride it i'm sure you could buy it and sell it to me :p

So you thinking if I throw my older (or get new ones) Open Pros that would be good?

Anyone want to buy a set of American Classic 350 Sprints new? :D
