Ease of installation

Ease of use

Sure, it's easy.....

(5)

Quality of Construction

Good - C4 Carbon; fairly stiff

(4)

Fit

58 cm. It fits great. LBS fit me to it.

(4)

Comfort

Good. It's my first road bike, and I went with one that would be a good cross between performance and comfort. The Altamira is a bit more of an upright riding position.

(5)

Adjustability

It's as 'adjustable' as any other road bike.

(5)

Durability

So far, so good. I've had it 9 months. I've only dropped it once and 'crashed' once, though that was just tipping over to reach for a water bottle on the ground.

(4)

Value

I think the bike is a great value with 105 front and rear derailluers. I give it a 4 because Fuji went cheap and put a Tiagra cassette on it.

(5)

Appearance

It looks great. I receive a lot of compliments on it. I don't like the 'leafing' or natural carbon look though. But, the black, red and white combination look awesome. A lot of the Oval components match the paint scheme. They put in a lot effort to make it a good looking bike.

Customer Service

I am giving a 3 as I wrote Fuji before to ask about how much weight this bike would take. They responded very quickly. (285 lb's if you're interested)

(4)

Performance

The bike performs well to my knowledge. The limitations are likely mine.

Strengths

Overall value. Comfortable riding position which is a blend between performance (aggressive) and comfort (upright). Great looking bike - red, black and white are awesome. Fairly stiff without being harsh.

Weakness

Tiagra cassette. The bike isn't light, though not overly heavy. It's right about 20 lb's. White bar tape gets dirty quickly. I replaced the Hutchison Nitro tires after a couple of months. I kept getting pinch flats - I weighed about 265 during this time.
