I have the Motobecane Messenger, which is equivalent to the Fuji for $300 mail order from bikesdirect >>> http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...essenger_x.htm It weighs less than the Fuji.

If you're going to ride 30 miles, then drop bars with hooded levers make more sense than fixie riser bars. I think the Fuji is overpriced. You can buy a Kilo TT Pro for $400, which has a much better quality frame and wheelset, or better yet for $440 get a Kilo WT with wide tires and room for fenders and a rack.
