Fuji Gran Fondo
Sometimes I think Fuji bikes get looked down on because Performance sells them, and not many LBS's do, but I gotta say, the Gran Fondo I just bought is the most comfortable road bike I have ever been on, it rides like a dream, and I could not be happier. I highly recommend the series.

Thanks for the post Vexxer. i just purchased a Fuji Gran Fondo 2.2. I ony had a chance to ride it once at the store but it felt really good to my back and neck. I got Ultegra plus hydrolic disk brakes for $1999 which was cheaper than any other manufacture was selling with same components. I have to admit the guys t performance aren't the sharpest, but I did my research and already knew what i wanted. Life time warranty on frame, and can return bike for full credit or upgrade up to 1 year. What more could I ask for?

Yup it's unfortunate that they are really looked at that way but, fuji makes great bikes they have really steped up their Game, dare I say that they are actually better than some top bikes.

With 130 locations nationwide, they are kinda the Walmart of bike shops. I know a ton of riders who look down on them and will not even consider buying a bike from them (though they usually will buy accessories from them), and the actual LBS's around here really talk trash about them, but yeah, to many riders, especially casual or new riders, they do not know the difference.
I have no issues with them. I buy my stuff wherever I can get the best deal. It just happened to be Performance that week. When LBS's have sales, they can have just as good, sometimes even better deals.

3rd Eye Media | Fuji Gran Fondo 2.2 | FujiGranFondo2-2
That is really bad information.
This is an absolutely beautiful bike. It is super smooth can't even hear it shift gears. Is light, fast, has a life time warranty on the frame and I can return it for full refund of upgrade for 1 year.
Has Shimono Ultegra components hydrolic disk brakes and 12mm through axles. That's everything I wanted and was under 2K.
No, I do not work for Fuji just wasn't paying extra for less with Giant, Trek or Specialized. None of them could offer everything I got for under 2K.

Got it. I was wandering what was going on with that when you have several Fuji's. By the way how is it possible both Fuji and Specialized both sell a bike called Roubaix.

Fuji, who holds the rights in the US, licenses the name to Specialized (and then Specialized decided to try and sue a cycling cafe called Cafe Roubaix)
