Hello all,

I have made a final decision on the bike i want. Well somewhat. I am in debate between these 2 bikes. Which bike is more bang for the buck?

They both fit me well. One is at a LBS and the other is at performance bicycle..

Fuji Absolute 3.0 LE Flat Bar Road Bike - 2014 Performance Exclusive -

Escape 2 (2015) | Giant Bicycles | United States


Thank you

I had a similar dilemma a few months ago and ended up going with the one that I thought was a better bang for the buck. And, ok, better color, too. But I should have gotten the Giant Escape b/c it fit me better. (I was able to resolve the fit issue on the other bike, but still think about the Escape and may end up purchasing it since it is on sale now!) I don't know anything about Fuji bikes or the way they fit, but I tend to have good luck with Giant's geometry. If you can ride them back to back - take as much time as you need - my suggestion is to go with the one that feels like a more natural fit. In terms of frame quality, I feel very confident about Giant, then again, I don't know anything about Fuji.

Im veering more towards the giant escape and even if it doesnt fit perfect, overtime i can make it fit with stem, handlebars, etcc...Thats my thought on it.

I am getting old and confuse easily.

I read 'They both fit me well' ... 'bang for the buck'.

But then I read 'even if it doesn't fit perfect, overtime I can make it fit with stem, handlebars, etc'. This seems likely to involve $$$.

I guess if you have tried all the models in your location and the Giant is the best fit then your approach is understandable - so far I have not felt the need to consider changing things on my Cannondale Quick.

Ok guys. I ended up getting this one used for $280! Comes with a kick stand and a bike rack!
