I’ve read numerous comments about the Specialized but haven’t seen much about the Fuji. Any opinions about that particular bike? Likes/dislikes? Quality of components? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve ridden both bikes (briefly) but still am having a hard time making a decision.

Thanks.
