Good catch on the K car

I'd rather not buy the Fuji, because its the same bike as the crap already being discussed. I suggest if you're goal is to get a quality bike, start with a quality frame, fork and durable wheelset. Then when you add the $300 crank, $200 bottom bracket, $120 headset, etc. etc. etc. you're working with a solid platform. Consistently I see people with inferior frames and $2k in components.

You can polish a turd, but then you just got **** on your hands.
