seat tube collar area is the same, tubing dimensions and styles look pretty close to dead on to me, need a better look at the drop outs and head tube

but by the looks of it they're practically the same bike. wouldn't be surprised if they rolled off the same line. how you liking the tsunami?

I think the top tube on the fuji is shaped different, but its hard to say without seeing it in person, the drop out inserts look better on the fuji too, but I wouldnt be shocked if they can be swapped out for others that will fit perfectly
I like it so far, I really like the geometry and handling. I could do without the decals. Its light, cheap, and stiff, makes for a good disposable work bike. Tight geometry in the rear and no toe overlap up front. It is a bit sketchy on slippery surfaces, having all your weight almost over rear axle means the front has like zero grip sometimes, that has been a problem a couple of times. I changed to a different tire up front and so far its been better. Armadillos are damn dangerous in the wet. It seems to be alot like the spicer track bike I had a few years back, just a little more aggressive.
