Lemond Fillmore 08 vs Fuji Track 08 vs Charge Plug 09

The reason I think the Fuji is good (and therefore parted with my cash) was because the "cheap and nasty" elements are all going to be replaced through general use anyway. So it's the frame I worry about. There are few things more infuriating to a cyclist than getting a 'decent' frame with 'decent' components only to be left replacing the 'decent' components with better ones on an ultimately average bike based on the 'decent' frame. Go for a good frame, get on your bike and upgrade it as you need to... kinda like the old days before 'builds'. hahaha

My golden rule for buying any type of bike has always been: 1st Frame, 2nd Wheels, 3rd all other components.

I was buying my first fixed wheel a few months ago and went for the FUJI 08 over any of the Charge bikes. Why? The frame is strong and light and the money I saved goes towards upgrade wheels and components.

Have to say I love the handling of my fuji more everyday.
