2012 Fuji Altamira 1.0
Just came in last week. I could not be more happy with this bike. Very light, quick ride. Stiff and forgiving in all the right places. I haven't done any real climbing on it yet but it accelerates very quickly and handles great when sprinting. I don't really like the Oval brakes, it seems like it takes more force to slow down than they should. The Rotor 3D+F crank seems great but it came with 172.5mm arms, I prefer 175. It's going to take some time getting used to the difference. Until I can get the 175's. I'll come back with a better ride report when I have more than 50 miles on it.

As for the stem, that's what I had laying around. I might get around to finding something with less rise once I get my flexibility back. Until then though, it's doing a great job of holding the bars to the steer tube.

Eh that kills it for me...I'm fat and love to climb...I need the compact crank. I will be getting a Rotor 3D+ at some point...too bad those aren't compact, I would totally buy them from you.

damn, that's too bad! I would like to stick with Rotor though, they seem like great cranks. Let me know if you're up for a ride sometime, I'm usually there all day Sunday, I go to her church on Valley Vista...or Science Park, I can never remember where it changes names.
