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

Are you looking to buy a new entry level bike?

I had been posting in various threads by people looking for new entry level bike and recommending the bike I'm on since I've been very satisfied with it.

I've just been tossing out there "Fuji Finest" (*not* the AL version). Mine's steel and it's been a solid workhorse.

I just checked the fuji website and it appears that this year's model has an aluminum fork. I wanted to get this out to y'all cuz my recommendation of last year's model is not an apples-to-apples comparison/recommendation for 2004.

How much extra road noise gets transmitted thru the aluminum fork, I don't know.

But there yas go. Sorry if I mislead anyone.


PS: I suppose that's why the Finest "steel" is now sell under $400?
