It's a decent setup as it is for my purposes. I swapped out the Selle Royal saddle for a WTB Pure V Pro, have snap-on fenders for wet weather, mounted a Cateye computer, and just bought a pair of Crank Brothers Mallet 1 pedals to replace the junk Wellgos.
I've owned a Felt 80, but bought another house to rebuild a couple of years ago that put an end to longer rides. I sold it, and get wistful about it every now and again. I've promised myself a new road bike for my 70th birthday as a goal to completing the house reconstruction.

Fuji Absolute 3.0. Fairly stock but have some things on order. New pedals/shoes on the way, waiting for my adventure strap to mount my extra tube and CO2, front/rear lights, and a new seat.. Adding a pair of fenders once I sell the others I have that did not fit.
I've also got a pair of riser bars for the end to use when I change out the stock grips.

BTW, if you find you are having problem with hand numbness or too much pressur eon your hands and arms, itr is probably because your saddle is tilted nose down. If you adjust it to be level or just slightly nose up the pressure on your hands will go way down. (unless that saddle has about 3/4" of spring travel in the back, then it might level out when you ride)

Thanks! I immediately exchanged my silver 7.1 when I saw the blue in the store a few days after purchase.
Thank you!

Sweet. I wish there was a place around here that stocks Fuji bikes. My wife picked up a Cambridge III at a junk shop in so. Ontario years back and it was one of my favourite bikes ever.

Nice bike, W4ZWA.
One other thing. AFAIK those ergo grips are meant to ´point´slightly above horizontal, towards the rider. At the moment, they´re at about 4 o´clock, as you look at ´em in the photo. Try loosening them off and moving them to about a 2 or half past 2 o´clock position.
Of course they maight be perfectly comfy as is, in which case, disregard everything I said.
