Both are new, both fit about the same. The Raliegh has a better chainset and comes with clipless pedals. The Roubaix has a carbon fork and seat post, but doesn't come with clipless pedals (have to buy in addition). Both have similar components and the Fuji weighs about two pounds less than the Raliegh. The Raliegh's brakes seemed a little more responsive. I test rode both and the Raliegh seemed to handle slightly better (up hills, shifting, ect.) Has anyone had any experience with either of these, or know anything else?
This will be my first road bike. I'm planning on doing some racing and long rides.
Also, when I ride out of the saddle I have a problem with the front of the seat sometimes bopping me in the rear. Any tips to advoid this? Is this something that I'll get better at with more riding?
