If I were to get one of the lower end Fuji road bikes?
I am a DH/FR guy, and also ride trails. I really want to get a road bike just to be able to get out and go, keep the legs spinning when I cant get to the trails.
I have a VERY limited amount of cash, and I just want somthing I can pedal, and it wont break every mile. I am a fairly competent mechanic, so I can fix minor things.
The biggest thing I'm worried about is componants. I have been asking around at the shop I work at, and eveyone says its worth spending the extra money to get the bike eqipped with 105 stuff. On my trail and DH bike, I ride with base bottom Deore stuff, because I dont see the need for XT or XTR, but I have heard that in the road world, it makes a HUGE difference.
Bottom line is, I am not worried about weight, I just want a fairly inexpensive bike that will shift "good enough", and hold up to me doing at most, 75 mi/week
The bike everyone in my shop says that I should go for is the Tirrenno Razza 2.0 with carbon fork, 105, yadda yadda. Retail, $850
one of the other ones I was looking at, for muuuch cheaper, is the Fuji Finest Al , which retails for $630, but is on sale for like ~$500or somthing (last years model)
