Looking for a road bike
Am looking for a new road bike and am wondering which one is the best bike for the money. I have heard Fuji is the way to go but wanted to hear from anybody what their opinion is. Looking to spend only about $700.

read thru the "under $700 road bike" thread... i think most are going to say a couple year old used bike is the way to go...

Pick one. I'd recommend the Fuji. All 3 have a carbon fork, good aluminum frames and are about $650. Use the remaining money to buy accessories as they fit your budget.

LET'S ROLL
Got this last year: https://www.fujibikes.com/Road/Sport/Newest30.aspx
Really liked riding it till it got stolen. Replaced it with the 1.0 upgrade to get
the 9 speed. No problems for about a year now, other than the rear spokes
popping. Dealer agreed with me to a Velocity Deep V upgrade, gave me a
huge discount since the wheel is still under warranty. This may or may not
apply to you. I'm 200 lbs. ride over 100 miles per week in the pothole riddled
city of New York.
