2010 Trek 2.3 or 2010 Fuji Team Carbon?

Question

2010 Trek 2.3 or 2010 Fuji Team Carbon?

Answer 1

My advice won't be as goofy as the first answer (who I gave thumbs down on), but it will be brief. All bikes in that price range will be good to great bikes. Go with whichever one "feels" best to you. Please see the link below.

Answer 2

Fuji Team Road Bike

Answer 3

OK, first of all the Fuji Team as a full carbon frame while the trek is aluminum with a carbon fork.



The 2010 Fuji Team comes with full Ultegra, the next step up from 105, which you find on the Trek. And the Team has a list price of $4000. Did you mean the Fuji Roubaix 2.0, which has Tiagra? Fuji doesn't sell a full carbon bike with anything less than 105. The Roubaix also has an aluminum frame with a carbon fork (the Roubaix RC upped that with a carbon rear).



The Fuji Team is a far superior bike in every way (lighter, better components). Right now, Performance is dumping 2009's, selling 2009 Teams for $2k, half price. I bought my son a 2009 Roubaix RC with Full Ultegra for about $1,150.



If you were going to spend $1,700 for the Trek, find a little more and get last year's Fuji Team. If you can't, spend a little less and get the RC, it's still a better frame and better components. You'd have to go up to a Madone 5.2 at $3,150 to find a similar quality Trek to the Fuji.

Answer 4

I would definitely go for trek- they are my personal choice for bikes, and lance armstrong's too!

Answer 5

I would use a tricycle with training wheels on it.

Answer 6

Go with the fuji and upgrade to rival. That'd be the most $ efficient way to cut grams. Although the 2.3 is a decent bike, you'll feel the itch to upgrade to carbon if you start riding seriously. Even though the fuji may not actually be much lighter due to the lower-end carbon. But at least psychologically you'll feel better about it.

On the other hand, if you're not too experienced with cycling and you plan to start racing crits, odds are high that you will crash at some point in time and pretty much ruin your fancy carbon frame. So from a durability point of view the trek is far more economical.

The fuji gets bonus Fred points from the expert roadies who frown upon anything from performance. From the aluminum crowd, I hear good things about spooky cycles, canyon, and cannondale CAAD9/10 frames too, but I'm not sure how that fits into your budget.
