Anyways, I'm looking for a bike that fits a person over 200 LBS, I'm 5 ft 10 but have a long upper body, I'm looking for a bike that will allow me to ride 40-60 miles in a day smoothly, is reliable and rides the roads well. Right now I ride a mountain bike on the road and that isn't what I want. It's not ideal. I want a bike I can transport in and train in, heavy miles. My budget is about 1,200. Plus I know I'll have to buy accessories. But if the Fuji bike is 500 bucks and only 90 percent what the Trek is at 1,200, I will take the latter. Remember, I'm not looking for a bargain. I'm looking to get the best bike for the full amount of money I spend. I'm not looking to spend under my budget if that means the quality is even 5 percent less. Alias seems to know some inside information and suggests that the quality material isn't as good as Treks. There has to be a reason why Fuji isn't highly recognized. Now maybe that means I look at Cannondale. But please convince me how Fuji is better than Trek. NOT BECAUSE OF MONEY SAVING reasons, but for bike related reasons. Please do not use the $$$ as part of the argument. Not looking for a bargain. Alias has presented you why he thinks Trek is better. Now present me with why you think Fuji is better and do it without using any money saving benefits. BIKE related benefits only.
