I have a Fuji Newest. It was my entry into modern-day road cycling. Mine has Sora components, and currently it has around 8,500 miles on it. No problems. I've worn out chains and tires, but the bike and components have been good.

I've since gotten a carbon frame bike, but I still ride the Fuji regularly. Currently, it is my night bike for after work rides, and if it looks as if I may get caught in the rain for a day ride, I take Ol' Fuj.

Good decision on canceling the Victory Vision. Customer reviews were very poor. Original posters were being nice wishing you good luck. Most folks pump up VV tires and they blew out due to issues with the spokes.

I like the Schwinn, but I'm guessing it's a bit on the large side for you based on the saddle placement with no post showing.

I hope you enjoy riding your new road bike.

Why so many similar mountain bikes?

Airborne did make some aluminum frame bikes. Not sure about the mt bike side of their stuff however. Post the fork, drivetrain specs. That will tell if it is post Flyte or a Huffy model. Airborne did not use lower end components on any of their bikes.

Yes it is tall for me the Fuji is the 42cm frame which is around 16.5" frame

"your kinda of a jerk aint ya"

You've haven't been around here long enough to take umbrage at true jerkiness. ;-)

kdarejr

yes sir your correct ! but I don't care to be called a lair either ! if they exist and they do : )

BluesDawg

We'll chalk this up as a rookie mistake, but he was clearly kidding around with my response, not calling you a liar. You'll have a lot more fun here if you lighten up a little. There are very few real jerks on this board and they are much less subtle than what you've seen so far.

cyclist2000

we all can be jerks from time to time, especially on the internet

kdarejr

Cool and thank you I will keep that I mind

kdarejr

I am having second thoughts on the Fuji I looked at a Treck 1'1 and like it a lot more

kdarejr

well as said in a earlier post I put in my order last Monday 11/23/09 for the Fuji and here it is 11/30/09 and they don't even know where it is ! I did tell them I could have ordered it my self and had it here in 3 days ! this is one of 2 bike shops I deal with and they have always done me right ! I was told it would be here 11/27/09 but what bothers me the most I did not even get a courtesy call ! so now I go back to work and am out of riding time with the weather and 14 hour work days ! arrrrrrrrggg

Funny things happen to items shipped over holidays.

Hi Folks, I want to post pictures of some of my new Bikes and I have my pictures loaded to a PBase Site. How can I get the pictures to show in this thread?


Thanks, Jerry

BluesDawg

I don't think you really want to hijack this thread for that. You can start a new thread.

trekmogul 

I had no idea that hijacking of this thread would take place for posting pictures of recenty aquired bikes. Isnt what this thread was all about ?

Thanks so much for your help.. Greatly appreciated..

BluesDawg

I'm not the thread police, but this thread was started by kdarejr to discuss the bike he was planning to buy.

I'm not at all trying to discourage you from posting the pictures of your bikes, but merely suggesting that you consider starting a new thread for them. I think your new bikes deserve their own thread so they can be discussed while the OP keeps the discussion about his purchase going. Sorry if I was too blunt and gave the wrong impression.

kdarejr

Like this it's not a hijack post em

BluesDawg

I stand corrected. If the OP welcomes the inclusion of $8,000 bikes in his thread about stepping up from a $180 bike to a $300 bike, then who am I to say different? I'll just mind my own business.

kdarejr

Hey it's OK I don't mind at all if you have that kind of money to spend on a bike then power to you ! But not to wine but when you and your wife both loose your jobs and your house then you see why I spend what I spend but I can still have several cheap walmart bikes that I have and enjoy them and not be a snooty snob about it after all this is Michigan and jobs are hard to come by
how about this one

trekmogul 

Can you please guide me to getting a picture like this appear in the posting? I can post a link to a paticular picture, however I cant seem to get the picture to appear without a link. FYI Wife and I are retired so nothing really to lose anymore but the time ticking away on the clock..


Cheers, Jerry in NW ohio

I have a photo bucket account then all I do is copy / paste the link
