But the one thing BikesDirect did change (along w/ the lower price) was to swap out those crappy stock Alex rims on the Fuji for Mavics on the Moto.
No offense - I have one of the BD cyclo bikes - but they are not the same frame. The Fuji is double butted and fairly light, I checked one out. I don't believe the BD is butted at all, and hence is thicker and heavier and possibly not as strong. Also, I have seen the Fuji pros in Performance with aksium wheels.
