'05 Fuji Professional - Opinions?

Saw it in a small hole-in-the-wall LBS. Been looking at some
Specialized Roubaix and others. I was surprised to see the Fuji Pro
comes with some DA 10 and a full carbon frame for $2440.00. All the
other bikes I've looked at that are full carbon and mostly DA 10 are
well over 3K. Not sure of Fuji as I don't see them being sold in the
larger, well established joints that sell Trek, Specialized, Merlin,
Orbea, Griffins and such.

I've been impressed with Fuji's price/performance for years. Don't
know about the Pro, but I've been happy with my Touring Series.

The Fuji Professional MSRP is $3,500 - at $2440 you're right, it's an
excellent deal.

The next model up the Fuji line, the Team Issue, is used by the
professional Nurnburger team, as reviewed he

Fuji is good stuff, priced well. A lot of places that sell those brands
might have trouble explaining why they cost more than a Fuji that performs
as well and uses the same parts.

I have an '02 Fuji Roubaix Pro that absolutely rocks.
