Importance of the LBS-----

The right LBS will want to keep you as a customer so will treat you right from the word go. They will sort the bike for your intended use and advise you on the alternatives- and remember that the final choice is yours. Sizing and a fairly critical problem I find with a "Sports shop/Department store" is that they do not carry the stock required to get the correct fitting bike. They have only one or just a couple of sizes of bike and whether it is the right size or not--That is the one they try to sell you. Then there is the final fitting. Saddle position- bar position and even brake lever position has to be right. An LBS will do this for you and also assist later on when it needs adapting.

But the Fuji Roubaix is not a bad bike. Not the best around but we all have that problem no matter what bike we choose. But only if it does fit correctly.

Found the bike on the link below in the archives. Take it that the bike is a 2012 and follow through to road bikes and Roubaix 2.0
