i'm looking into raod bikes but i know i hate raod bars. so i'm looking in to flat bar road bikes. my options are the giant FCR 1(thing is new for 2005), and the fuji royal. i heavily lean toward the FCR.
the FCR has
shifter SRAM X-9 Trigger
front derailleur Shimano Tiagra
rear derailleur SRAM x-9
brakes Dual Pivot Long Reach
brake levers Alloy Direct Pull
cassette SRAM PG-950 12-26T, 9 speed
chain Shimano 9-Speed
cranks TruVativ Elita, 30/42/52T
bb TruVativ ISIS
rims Xero XSR-2 20/24H
hubs Xero XSR-2 20/24H
spokes DT Stainless Steel 14G
tires Michelin Dynamic, 700x 25c
handlebar Easton EA50 XC 2014 5 Degree
stem Easton EA50 6 Degree
headset Integrated
seatpost Composite, 27.2x350mm
saddle Anatomic Comfort
pedals Shimano M505
i use the X.9 setup on my mountian bike so i use to that setup. also i like the way giant makes there bikes.
what do you guy think?
btw the reason i'm only looking at these two is because i get the mad hook-up on these bikes at my shop!
