I want to get a good road bike for my wife and have been looking at the 2007 Fuji Finest 1.0. I looked at the Finest 2.0 but my only draw back was it lacked carbon seat stays.

Can anyone provide any feedback on experience with the Fuji Finest 1.0 (2007 model) or suggest any other comparable Women's specific bikes? Thanks! :idea:

Can't vouch for Fuji, but in that price range Giant gets good press for their Women's specific bikes.

One example:

It sounds like you and she are new to this. If so, I suggest test riding a number of bikes.

I saw a woman riding a Specialized Ruby a couple of weeks ago; she looked very comfy.

By the way, the carbon stays won't make a lick of difference. :)

Oh, I dunno if I agree with that. Doesn't increasing manufacturer's profits denote a difference?? :)
