comments on Fuji Absolute 4.0 2006?
I found this small bike shop selling a Fuji Absolute 2006 model for $420 new, gives 60 days free tune ups, not a full year.
Has anybody had this bike?
Maybe I should just get the 2007 model for $450?
Any comments?

The Absolute is a great bike for the dollar. If you like a flatbar roadie, you can have a blast on this without spending a lot of cash. My GF just bought an Absolute 3 and thinks it's great for commuting. I, personally have a hard time with the rapidrise shifting though.

I think there is a bit more to it in terms of usefulness in mtn biking, but for normal riders, it just reverses the shift levers action.
