Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

I'd try a counteroffer on general principle, but the price isn't too bad IF the condition is as represented. 
Just make sure the fit is right as well. At the very least, it's a couple of orders of magnitude better than the Wally World bikes.

I have a 2006 Fuji Newest 4.0. Although it is an entry level bike, I have put around 1600 miles on and have had no major problems. It's been a good bike for me. I may buy another from Fuji such as a Roubaix in the future.

I ride a 06 Fuji Roubaix, had it since November last year and have probably put a little over 2000 miles on it without any problems and I am 5'9 220lbs. I am however buying a used 04 Specialized Allez with all Ultegra components for my weekend rides and will keep the Fuji as my commuter bike.

I have a Fuji Newest 3.0 that I bought this year. Fuji gives great value for the money in there bikes. I will be upgrading to a higher end Fuji in about 6 months.

i have a new Fuji Touring. I love it. I have heard the in 2005 the touring model had an issue with spokes and wheelset but that Fuji gave the touring owners new wheels at no cost and have since corrected the manufacting fault.

Fuji has a lot of pride in their brand name. They take care of their warranty well, and from what I've seen, they made and continue to make goods bikes.

Picked up a leftover 2006 Fuji Finest 1.0 WSD for my wife last month and she loves it. 20 speed with a mix of 105 & Ultegra components, CF fork & seat stays and weighed just over 20 lbs. before pedals and bottle cages.

My Xtracycle is based off of a Fuji, and it has served me very well.

I own a Fuji, but it is more of a C&V ride… It’s a 1985 Sagres Mixte . I like it…

I own an '05 Fuji Absolute. Put 3000 miles on it last year commuting.
Had to get a better rear wheel. Rough roads and panniers bent the original one.
Had over 700 miles on it this year, running great. Just had to stop, cracked some ribs. Healing now.
Seem to be good bikes.

It looks like a fun bike, unfortunately after contacting the seller I found out it's too small. 
Oh well, I have other rides in the works, pictures coming soon.
