I'm looking at a few flat bar road bikes and the Fuji made the cut. Unfortunately, I did not have one in my size to test ride. Overall its a nice bike, but I haven't ridden one yet.

Other bikes that I looked at are the Trek 7.3FX and the 7.5FX; the Cannondale Bad Boy series; Cannondale Road Warrior 400 and 500; and the Specialized Sirrus Sport and Comp.

Test ride the bike first. Find out what the drivetrain is and go from there. But make sure the bike fits, if it doesn't you'll hate the ride.
