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

Not so fast. The Cannondale is a better frame, but the Fuji is 10-speed Dura-Ace.

If you're racing, you'll want normal bull-horn handlebars, not aero-bars. Beyond that, it's a matter of the total cash outlay. The number would have to be less than $1k for me to bite on either.
