Fuji SL-1 RC any good?
Anyone have any experience with a 2010 Fuji SL-1 RC?
https://2010.fujibikes.com/Road/Ultra...RC---SRAM.aspx
Are they any good?
Would a brand new 2010 SL-1 RC SRAM RED for $3500 be a smoking deal, or just an ok deal?
Thanks!

FWIW I have an 09 Fuji Roubaix and I love it. Only you can decide if it is a deal or not, have you price checked at other LBS or online?

Yeah I am starting to look hard at all the LBS in my area. I am all over the map right now with what bike I want. I just upped my price range to $3000 - $3500. Still thinking a CAAD10 with some nice wheels, but so many choices, plus the cervelo $1000 off deal....

Well, you will certainly find plenty of CAAD and Cervelo enthusiasts on this forum, not many Fuji though.
My budget was only $700 so finding an almost new 09 Fuji for $600 was great. As it happens the Fuji is an excellent bike and fits great.
The most important thing to do it ride the bikes you want, you have to know it will fit and if it is comfortable for you. And you certainly cannot go wrong buying a CAAD or Cervelo.

The Drive Side is Within
Altamira = Hot.
Based on what I've seen of their internet videos, Fuji is pushing their top of the line as serious real-world race bikes. I don't follow racing enough to know if they're having success, but everything Fuji that I've touched has been of high quality and high value.
I have an '05 Team Issue that I'm building up this winter. Can't wait.

The last 2 bikes I purchased I did not test ride and they turned out great.

I think Fuji is probably one of if not THE best bike for the money, is easy to find, and has models for every price point. They are not cheaply made and use good components. They save money like EVERY company by making frames in China, and cheap wheelsets - only they actually keep prices down and don't claim they are Italian.
