Meh.

You can pick up a very nice vintage Columbus tubed Italian for that kind of dough (and most probably less) - and the Fuji components are nothing special.

Hell - I've only got about $750 into my fully restored Swiss Mondia, and it is 531 steel with Suntour Superbe/Campy components and hand-built wheels. The Palo Alto, about $1000-$1100 to build, and the NOS Cinelli with 9 speed Record DT shifting I bought this year was only about $150 more than the list price of the Fuji.

Nice idea, but don't be surprised if they go the way of the Dodo fairly soon.
