And the Shimano 105 components are durable and reliable.” If you are looking for your first good bike I would encourage you to give the Roubaix a test ride before you buy.WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS, just a little differently.īikefit is 100% committed to offering our community the best customer experience possible. The bike’s A6-SL custom butted aluminum frame sports high end features like a tapered head tube and press fit bottom bracket. That ideal is evident in the lower cost Roubaix 1.3. Bicycling Magazine had this to say about the Roubaix 1.3,”The brand’s mission remains the same-to produce good bike’s at a fair price. This is the perfect bike for a beginning racer or century rider who wants a nice bike without breaking the bank. The Roubaix has been Fuji’s best selling and longest running road bike model. Most aluminum bikes look no nonsense, very utilitarian to me. I love the way a lugged steel bike looks like a piece of art that was hand built. I admit that I like the way a carbon bike can be shaped into some fast looking curves. As far as looks go, that’s up to the eye of the beholder. I think the carbon soaked up the bumps slightly better than the aluminum Roubaix but I doubt I would notice the difference if I went up a tire size to a 700 X 25mm. That’s a pound or so difference for bikes that cost two to three times as much. With pedals the Roubaix weighed 20lbs, the Specialized 19 lbs and the Cervelo 18.75 lbs. You would think there would be a big difference in weight between them but there wasn’t. The Fuji was fast handling, stiff for climbing and didn’t beat me up on the bumps. It handled it just as well as the super model bikes I’ve owned-a Specialized Tarmac and a Cervelo RS. This past summer I got a chance to ride a Roubaix over my usual hilly training route six or seven times. The best thing about the Roubaix is that they start around $1,000 not $10,000 so a normal guy can afford to have one in his life. The Roubaix will be around for a lifetime while the high priced supermodels are often warranted for three to five years. Her aluminum frame isn’t as light as those carbon beauties and not quite as curvy. The Fuji Roubaix is the bicycle version of the “girl next door”. You know they are unobtainable for the average man, way too light to have that many curves and no way are they going to be around very long. There’s something sadly similar about looking at super models and $10,000 bicycles. Looking at it is a lot like looking at the Sports Illustrated Swim Suit edition-something you like to look at but aren’t too proud of. I was looking over the Velonews Buyers Guide this morning in the privacy of my own bedroom. ![]()
