Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Fit/size matter most. Can you take it for a spin to be sure it’s right for your body?

As fro the bike itself, I own the Al model and I LOVE it. Similar set-up but I have Chinese CF wheels and oval bars ... i forget which saddle and seat post .... Azonics?

One hundred percent what @datlas said: see if it fits. if it fits, Buy it.

Fuji bikes have always offered amazing value, IMO.

A bit pricey, but more importantly does it fit correctly? I think that bike was to be had around 15-1800 when new. 750 is more realistic in my area.
