2004 FUJI Professional X-fusion

[cst68]

Do any hubbers out still ride this bike?

Being of 2004 vintage is it a viable option as a race bike?

What would the going purchase price be for a good condition bike like this be?

I have read all the information(there is not a huge amount)concerning it on the internet and are inquisitive to know of anyone with first hand experience on them.

 

I have never owned a road bike and are considering one to supplement my mountain bike for additional training purposes .

That bike should have Shimano Dura ace 10 speed parts on it and Ritchey wheels.

 

Nothing wrong with racing that even if it is a few years old.

Check the frame for peeling paint or cracks.

R6500 would be a good price if it's in very good condition.

Thanks for the reply.The frame is fine.

 

This bike has a Truvative rolleur carbon 2X10 crank, Gipiemme T-DUE 24S wheels and Ultegra brakes and derailleurs.

 

I have never done a road race so I will swing it on a 63 km mountain road race and see what happens.

I wouldn't fork out more than R5k

[Breezer]

R5000 max

Thanks for the replies.

 

The bike is on loan to me and like I said I will try the bike on my first road race.

 

Maybe I will like road racing...if so I may purchase the Fuji or a new 105 spec bike.

A word of advice. Cycling takes a LONG time to show results, its not something you can just start and next week you are a champ. I knew guys in the past that bought all the kit, etc, and gave up riding 6 months later because they expected to be winning races by then.

 

In other words, don't get into "road racing", first get into cycling and find your feet.

With those specs have to agree R5k

I hear your advice and believe you are correct.

 

I am really a mountain biker who is interested in trying some road cycling.

 

So the Fuji was used on the 63km mountain to mountain road race today in Tzaneen,

 

I have officially broken the ice and have done a road race.

Congrats...hope there are many more.

Fuji makes good bikes. I still ride a 2004 model MTB and i enjoy it as much as the day I bought it.

Good reviews considering there is one selling on the hub for R8k I think.
