Also, to give a different perspective on the 'twitchy' fuji, I'm not particularly super fit or flexible, or even that good a rider. But after a short time on the fuji (and a switch to straight bars, front brake, and a charge seat) I haven't had any problems at all. After a year I still love it.
The 'twitchy' aspect seemed to vanish after adding the straight bar, but it still felt so much more direct and fun than the plug which I also tried (albeit in stock form).
This is not to take away from the plug which looks great and felt very safe and solid - a great all weather bike. But the fuji has a sort of explosiveness that is hugely addictive. It looks fast just sitting there leaning up against the wall - as if it is urging you to take it out and thrash it - even if all you needed to do was go out and buy a pint of milk.
