Interesting. Bottom line if it works for you and you like it, there's no need to be insecure about it-although I freely admit that I have an unsubstantiated irrational bias against Fuji (and Performance Bike). I would have to attribute this to the big S marketing machine and the fact that when I carelessly search Craigslist etc for Roubaix, a bunch of Fuji's come up. Like I said, irrational.
