lolz, im actually a fan of fuji and not only bec i own 1 right now. don't have anything against owning another 1.
now that i think about it more, both the BMC roadracer and the fuji SST 2.3 are entry level carbon but the BMC is still more expnsive it looks like.
maybe i should just wait until i can get either the SST 1.3 or the BMC race machine. so i get a intermediate level carbon.
i already have an entry level carbon bike right now anyway.

Continued good luck.

thanks. i do have a lycra shorts that i still wear under light shorts or track pants.
I often still wear my MTB shorts over cycling shorts if I'm commuting, especially if it's cold. I don't really like being on an elevator with random office people in spandex and a helmet.
yeah, i commute with the bike and often meet friends for a restaurant. i like to look normal off the bike.
also, i like the many pockets that the cargo shorts has.
