Yeap I found what I thought was a deal on another bike. I found a 50cm frame 2005 Fuji Ace for $545 after sales tax (pre-tax was $510). It fits me well. I rode it around the block a couple of times before adopting it. Seems to be comfy enough for longer rides. Plus it an angular adjustable stem. The only thing it lacks that I wanted in a road bike was a cf fork. It has Shim Flight Deck shifters, Shim Sora derailers, Alex rims with presta valves fitted with 700x25 Kenda tires. So did I get a pretty good deal? The only draw back is now my garage is really starting to look like a bike shop. I may have to sell off one or both of my other bikes.

It sounds like a decent deal. Have you tried putting in those S hooks that screw into an overhead 2x4 so you can hang your extra bikes? You never know when a spare bike might come in handy. Bill Baka

GARAGE!?
Bicycles should be kept in the bedroom and/or living room.
Get rid of other useless stuff if you need more room for bicycles.
