I am in the market for a new race bike and really like the Fuji roubaix, anybody have good ideas for a lightweight build or have already done a build yourself?

I looked into the Roubaix frameset and doing a build but concluded it was better to buy an existing build from Performance (see https://www.performancebike.com/bike...157&cadevice=c) for an ultegra build for $1200.

The only problem is that most of the performance bikes are the Matte black color and Fuji make a beautiful looking Roubaix in a multitude of colors including blue.

I think that is what I am going to do. At performance the new 1.0 le ultegra says $1650 but said they would take online price ($1200). I will then upgrade the wheels and crank.

The fuji Roubiax is a solid bike here is my build ultegra/dura ace with BOYD 44mm carbon clinchers

Nice looking bike, but that blue frame they have Fuji Bikes | ROAD | COMPETITON SERIES | ROUBAIX 1.1 FRAMESET is beautiful, much better in person than on the internet. It has this pearliness to it that makes it almost glow.

Speaking of colors, is this manufacturer FUJI REMIX ROUBAIX AERO doing knock-offs? They say to order only via Fuji dealer and they apparently will do a wide range of custom colors.

Nice bike, how much does it weigh?

looks to be a knock off website , and yeah the idk about an aero Roubaix no such thing. Yes the Fuji blue is very nice also. I would rather buy from performance bike

This bike weighs around 16.3lbs I could cut weight down to about 15 to 15.5 easily

That's just above the uci limit and lighter than many carbon bikes, do you ever race it?

Not yet but i will be soon , I will be signing up for USA cycling pretty soon and this is the bike I'll be using. The Fuji Roubaix is Fuji competion series good for racing. Specialty if you upgrade most of the parts you've got your self a full blown race bike like my roubiax .
