Gotta say it is a cracking bike for the cash. Some people knock it but I have to agree with scaryeire the frame is great. It obviously helps if it fits well, but mine was spot on.
Yes original tyres are a bit poor, the wheels will probably want sorting after a ride or two so get to know someone handy a twiddling nipples.
Pimp my fuji - Pedals and toeclips to shiny track pedals and clips. Fuji drop bars swapped for the same profile pursuit bars above (them be super doody and great for ragging it up hills as they are pretty long) Stock stem to a 3T stem (same length just more angle so I can get lower on the pursuit bars, stem now runs parallel with top tube (ie flat). 17t miche / 19t EAI (to give me a few choices depending on hills) Oh yeah and a front brake + crosstop lever.
Considering - new wheels as the hubs aren't running like butter anymore, more like butter with bits of toast in.
What's with all the seat bashing too, I quite like my little fuji saddle, have completed 30/40M rides without a hint of numb bollies.
