New purchase

Good morning to the board...It's time to retire my Trek 200 after 20 years. Have narrowed down my search to a Fuji Absolute 1 and a Specilized Sirrus comp. Fit on both bikes are very good..I noticed that the welds on the Specilized are very clean and well done. Sram vs Shimano?

Would love to hear everyones input

Happy Biking
Peter

Bikes: RANS Stratus, Bridgestone CB-1, Trek 7600, Sun EZ-Rider AX, Fuji Absolute 1.0, Cayne Rambler 3

Those were two of my 4 finalists when I purchased 4 years ago. I went with the Fuji and have really liked it. But both bikes are a bit different now. The Shimano 105 groupset on my Fuji has been excellent.

Welcome To Bike Forums, Oppiefive!

I'd get the Fuji Absolute 1.0.... It has nice welds, too!

Besides, you can get a really great deal on bikesdirect.com

The Fuji Absolute 1.0 ~ $700

Good Luck!

I say get the Fuji. Better price, components, cassette and crank set. The Specialized has a 10 speed 11-36 48/34 chain ring. Not a big fan of this setup.
