  1. first off i ride a mountain bike, i like mountain biking but im looking for a road bike for fitness and commuting in the summer. so ive been looking around shops for a good end of summer deal on a road bike, one of my LBS has a used fuji reps team super lite, im not sure of the exact amount of milage but the bike is MSRP of 2200 and hes asking 1200 - 1300, sounds like a pretty good deal on a really high end bike, i ma slightly concerned that it might be a little too light for me though, im 6'2 225, the bike is a 58 cm frame, could my size be an issue as far as braking the frame, forks, or crank? is this a good deal? is this a good bike?

    i know very little about road bikes but i am looking for the most bang for the buck and dont mind getting a newer used bike..

  2. anyone?

  3. Hello there,

    While I am not familiar with Fuji bikes beyond their reputation (a good one, BTW), it looks like a fine bike, with a very good components package, especially at that price.

    As a 100kg+ rider you might be a bit heavy for the frame, which is barely over 1kg - and I would be concerned with the wheelset, which from the website is an American Classic lightweight set. I know that people will start shooting at me here, but those wheels tend to be better for much lighter riders, and are renowned by climbers for their light weight, although a number of riders I know complain about how flexy they are.

    I guess it all comes down to the 'risk' you are willing to take. Why not ask to test ride it and see if you find it comfortable (or, as importantly) too flexy...
