I bought a fuji finest al roadbike last feburary. I have put over 3000 miles on it since. I am new at road biking and am now looking to upgrade. For the money,(450 new) I don't think they can be beat. If you are a beginning rider, I think it is wise to get something to learn on without breaking the bank. Now that I have got the hang of this road riding thing (and not falling off of the rollers or falling over trying to unclip at stoplights) I will probably look for something lighter that I can race on. People might try and talk the quality down, but my beginner fuji has been used hard and I have not had any mechanical problems with it and it has held up well. I would not be against trying out one of their higher end models such as the superlight or the team issue if I wasn't loyal to my local bike shop/bike guru.
Just my two cents worth.
