Amazing? Not so much.
It's very much the bottom of the entry level bikes. The Foffa, Viking etc are just bicycle shaped objects.
You'll find the parts on the Fuji don't last and need replacing (such as the brakes, hubs, bottom bracket etc).
You'll end up spending a fair amount of cash in the first 18 months or so depending on how much use it has.
You'll replace the bits with nicer, more durable and more expensive parts and be left with a very basic frame with plain gauge tubing with alright parts that has very little resale value.
Decent 2nd hand is by FAR the better option.
