FUJI bikes
 

First of all a little correction or rather specification: tested have been framesets, so the total score refers to the combination of frame, fork and headset.
The score is the weighted combination of the test factors. Grades being 1.0 (very good) through 5.0 (insufficient).

Legend: Model | overall score | material | weight of frame & fork (25%) | riding stability (25%) | lateral fork stiffness (15%) | power transmission (15%) | comfort of the frame (7.5%) | comfort of the fork (7.5%) | paint (5%) | finish (5%) | manual (2.5%) | warranty (2.5%)

There are over 10,000 readers on this forum.

If each one of them, pulled out of his a$% rankings like those made
by the original poster, we'd never see the end of it.

But thanks for your 2 cents.

No Motobecane = invalid test.

Darn, looks like I have to sell my Fuji now. :(

Oh yeah, I still believe my Fuji is one of the nicest bikes produced, still gotta sell it though. The test says it sucks. :(

back to the ol' blue!

That's not the frame you have.

I'd like to learn more about the (fake) "power transmission" rating. If you know someone with an SRM and a PowerTap, then I'd be really interested in seeing any data to come out of that testing... anything else is just BS.

I know, but if that one scores that bad then mine must really suck!!! :o

Look, sugarpops.

You think I went out of my way to personally rate 40+ bicycle frames? I mean come on, no.

The reviews and tests were done by TOUR magazine, a much more reputable source of information than your local bicycling. This has been translated from german.

Article is from their April issue if you would like to order one.

More on tour magazine here.

While I'm not sure how TOUR tests their power rating, I do believe any testing they do is 100% scientific and I would be willing to bet they would provide the documentation to duplicate the tests.

i'm stilll trying to figure out what the significance of this thread is. someone help me.

He does not like the Fuji.

oh. well, shoot. you don't see many race wins coming on Storck Fascenario's.

Yeah, but I'm trying to justify me not liking Fuji honestly.

You don't have to justify it. If you don't like it, you don't like it.

what other brands do you dislike enough to start hate campaigns about?:lol: we need to know about those, too.


btw, have you ever ridden a fuji?

Settle down, JayC. Breathe deeply. Learn to have a sense of humor.

There, wasn't that better?

How is it that the owner's manual is as important as the warranty?

I had some trouble parsing through the German there, but I would be interested in seeing this info if anyone has it or can read German and get it. I'm pretty sure the test is at one of these links:

if cuban missle can rock the fuji and win races I'm sure it's good eunff fr all of us, considering he can hit 1500 watts any given day also I think that toyota united team bike is hott!

No need to justify it. To be honest I didn't like Fuji either. I mainly ordered mine because my buddy's shop started carrying them so I wanted to help him get the name out locally a bit. I had planned on buying it then riding it this season and then selling it. Well, then I received the frameset and I was very impressed. The quality amazed me, the frameset was beautiful.

Shortly after that I built it up and took my first ride on it. I was shocked and that is an understatement. I had always thought of them as second rate bikes, well not any more. Now that I have spent some time on it I would put this frameset up against any frameset. I am convinced that they are as nice as any other frame out there, at least for a rider of my ability.

Well maybe I should ride one of their nicer frames, maybe my opinion would change. There I said it.

You are such a dumbass. You had a Fuji League........the lowest bike they sell. The fork dropout cracked and it had crappy components. So now you hate all Fujis, especially the top of the line one?
