Everyone uses all sorts of cool components to make a light bike.
It costs lots of money to use top quality components.
Yet the Fuji Team SL is relatively inexpensive. There was one at a local LBS a few weeks ago for something like $1800-$1900 How does Fuji do it?
Their bike is mostly ultegra with some fsa and some sweet american classic rims... and sure, their stock tires are not the greatest... but still - I was under the impression that (light, reliable, inexpensive) = Pick any 2.
i KNOW that their bike is not a serotta or seven or calfee or anything high-zoot-n-bling-bling... but beyond that, where is the downside? Is their bike inherently flawed in terms of reliability or ride quality or something? What do y'all think of that bike?
