2006 Fuji Roubaix RC - should I pull the trigger?

[maniloff]

Having left Utah and promptly thrashed my 1970-something Schwinn Le Tour, I'm looking for a road bike.

I'm not going to race, not going to keep up with the skinny little f**kers, but am going to put on a decent number of miles, probably riding 2-4 times a week, averaging 150-200 miles a month. Rolling hills, very few climbs bigger than a couple hundred vert. I way 200 pounds and fart proudly.

A local shop is trying to get rid of a 2006 Fuji Roubaix RC, offering almost half off. I love the bike, but haven't found as many bikes to test-ride as I'd like and am feeling a little underinformed. Any issues with Fuji's I should know about?

My thoughts are that it's comfortable (more so than anything I've ridden that was comparably fast), it fits, it's fast, and it's a lot more bike for the money than anything else in my price range.

Do I keep test-riding, or pull the trigger?

If you like it, think it's a good deal, and it fits, fire away.

Pretty soon you'll be buying one of these



Get the bike, and talk LDD into getting one too.

Trigger == pulled. Not saying on which.

Depending on what you pulled the trigger on, I may or may no want to see pictures.

Congrats, hope it treats you well. I test rode a Fuji a few years ago (back when Team Mercury was racing on them) and really liked it.
