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

Anyone know about the Fuji Team Super Lite?

I'm looking at a size 56 team Super Lite frameset, that looks kind of like this:



I've read that it builds up to about 15.5lb bike, and that it's supposed to have a full carbon fork. I believe it's a 2003.

I've also heard that it's a BD bike that was spec'd identically to the Moto Le Champion. Can anyone confirm?

I want an aggressive stiff frame that I can build up in the < 16lb range, but I don't want to trade my Colnago frameset for something that doesn't perform sensationally (like the 'Nago does). I do a lot of climbing, high speed descending, and race criterium. I'm a big guy, by cycling standards, and like to throw by weight around a lot.

Also, while I don't necessarily expect to trade my frame for one of the same pedigree, I don't want to trade a Colnago frame for a Bikes Direct frame. I was hoping for a frame more like this one:

AFAIK it's the same frame but different forks on the LeChamp. Either one builds up to a nice crit bike.

Only the front half. My frame is like the Fuji Roubaix with CF seat stays and not as stiff. The LeChamp is a bit more aggressive with a shorter head tube. The rest of the geo is the same.
