Ah, my first brand new road bike. I love this thing... fit and handling is fantastic....

Specs:

Just thought I'd share.

congrats - are those Ultegra brakes? (didn't say in the specs.)

 

[G-Cracker]

No...they're Tektro brakes... haven't heard much about them but they stop fine.

Nice!

But I thought you had a new(er) quality roadie already??

What saddle and pedals are you putting on?

 

[G-Cracker]

LOL... I DID buy a relatively new roadie recently. It was a used frame off ebay with my old Cannondale parts transferred over. Basically it has become my commuter. I'm going to put some fenders and my trunk/rack on it for the "iffy" weather day commutes. The local bike shop had such a screaming deal on this Fuji that I saved about 40% of "regular" price.

Saddle... still the stock Fuji right now... it's holding up and feels fine. As to pedals I went with some Forte Titanium "look" style pedals.

I and a few others (on another forum) have reported problems with the Forte "Look" pedals... pop out on a relatively strong up-stroke. So careful out there

 

[G-Cracker]

Well, I have already experienced that, I'm afraid. I'm certainly not "sold" on them and am thinking about another set of pedals... any suggestions?

I've tried several, love my Shimano ultegra and 105 pedals. Never popped out, exit when I want, proper amount of float for me, and walking in the cleats is far superior than another other.

Look Keos get my vote

Look PP247's !

If you like the look style pedal, try the shimano pedals. I havn't used them, but im told they are nicer because they have this replaceable butterfly plate where the look pedals normally wear out.

But I love looks, i have A5.1's and I'm happy.

And that's a very nice fuji too!

They have a pretty low spring tension. The Look KeOs are great, just make sure you get at least the Sprint model. The Classic has a pretty low spring tension too. I'm rocking the HM Carbons, just for the pimp look, and I love them. I have the regular Carbons too, same weight, same function.
Light too.
