I've just pre ordered one of [url= http://www.evanscycles.com/products/fuji/roubaix-rc-2009-road-bike-ec018086 ]THESE[/url] on the cycle to work scheme at work. It's not to late to change my mind as long as it is from Evans and around that £1000 mark. honest opinions good or bad welcomed.

Is this your first road bike? If so, good choice. Some very good parts, light frame and looks good.

Also, did you have a list of bike you could buy? Or was it limitless?

To be honest we could go for halfords or evans. My mates getting one from halfords and i didn't want the same so i've gone for the fuji from evans. I know absolutly jack S**t about road bikes. Currently own a rock lobster and am still unsure how much use the fuji will get as i like being out in the country more than being on the road; apart from the the twice a week a will have to use it for work of course 😉

Is there anything on the fuji you would ask evans to change, I was thinking of asking them to change the tyres for something else. Not sure if they will do that anyway, no harm in asking though I suppose?
