I checked it out last night and it's definitely the best looking Fuji I've ever seen. Any input on them? They're on sale for $999 right now and I'm sure I could find a coupon and get it cheaper. Seems like a great deal for full 105. Or is the frame crap and I'm missing something?

I bought a Fuji Roubaix ACR 3.0 this year and its a great bike for the money. I'm not sure if the one you have a link for is the Roubaix ACR or just the Roubaix though since I'm at work on my blackberry and don't have time to look. The main difference is the carbon seat stays and the more aggressive (shorter head tube) on the ACRs compared to the regular Roubaixs. I can say I have been very pleased with my ACR though. I have plans to upgrade the wheels and switch components to SRAM force/rival before next season. Its a very comfortable responsive bike for that price if its a Roubaix ACR 2.0 I say go for it. I got my ACR 3.0 with Tiagra/105 for $750 witch is half retail this year. From what I've heard they will no longer be making the ACR (all conditions race) models of the Roubaixs next year.

Ok I checked out the link its not an ACR. Still not a bad bike. So it does have the carbon stays but it doesn't have BB30 like the ACRs. Unless u want a more relaxed geometry the I would spend $200 more and get the Roubaix ACR 2.0 (105 equipped ) but that's just me (I want a more aggressive position).

Not a bad entry level bike at a good price, especially since it has mostly 105 components. To keep price down, they skimped on components most new riders wouldn't notice, like the crankset.

It always kills me when bike companies talk about how light weight their bikes are, but don't provide the information. Not a knock on just Fuji, pretty much all do this. I've always liked the Roubaix's and nearly bought an older 04 Pro with 853 Reynolds tubing recently. Great bike, unfortunately it was just a tad large.
