I bought a Fuji Roubaix pro from performance last year with 105/Ultegra for $1024 out the door. So far it has been a great bike and I have no lust for the more expensive bikes yet. I rode all the bikes I could find in the 1000-2000K price range and the Felt F75, Scott Speedster S30 and Specialized Allez Elite were also in the top running. In the end though it came down to the Fuji not only being the better deal, but fitting the best with out the need to switch stems. I would have been happy with any of these bikes though. My 2nd choice would have been the Scott. I never found a CAAD 9 to ride in my size, but I here they are very good as well. I am primarily a mountain biker so I have to say that I can't tell the difference between carbon and aluminum. Its all just ity bitty bumps compared with the the MTB trails here in Austin that I still ride from time to time on a rigid frame.






The bikes are made in Taiwan:

Following the Fuji bankruptcy, bicycle distribution in the United States was taken over by Advanced Sports, Inc. In 1998, Jadeland Pacific, an investment group, was formed in Taiwan and acquired an 83% ownership of Advanced Sports, Inc., which had purchased the assets of Fuji America as well as the worldwide distribution rights to the Fuji bicycle brand.

In 2005, Ideal Bike Corporation, Taiwan`s third-largest complete-bicycle maker, acquired a 60% stake in Advanced Sports International Asia Ltd., which markets the Fuji brand of bicycles in Asia. Fuji bicycles are now built in Taichung, Taiwan; Dong Guan, Guangdong Province in the People's Republic of China; and in Kutno, Poland by Ideal Bike Corporation. The brand is owned, and distributed in the United States, by Advanced Sports Inc., headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
