Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Re: Fuji Roubaix

Have you bought one yet or are you just thinking of getting one?

I bought the steel-frame Roubaix-Pro which has two chainrings vs. the three on the Roubaix. I like the Roubaix-Pro a lot. I would want a triple, though, if it were hillier around here.

I like a steel frame. I don't really feel attracted to aluminum for some reason. As for Fuji in general, I think they make a good bike.

Fujis are fine bikes. I put a lot of miles on a 1990 Fuji Roubaix, and that bike rocks! (It now lives at my son's house...hope to lite the biking fire in him too!) It has a steel frame and double chainring like the Roubiax Pro of today.
Fuji has been making bikes for over a century. In '91, they moved production to Tiawan, and the quality suffered terribly, but to thier credit, they have made a real effort to bring the quality back to thier machines, and I think they have!
