FUJI
Absolute 4.0   $389

Stepthrough (ladies') frames available in pink.

The price.

Aluminum frame, steel fork, Suntour crankset 28/38/48, Shimano Tourney gears with 7-speed freewheel, alloy 700c rims on quick-release hubs. ProMax linear-pull brakes

FUJI
Absolute 3.0   

Lowest-priced flat-handlebar road bike with cassette-hub wheels.

Same frame as other Absolutes. Shimano Altus/Acera gears with 8-speed cassette. Double-wall rims make stronger wheels than Absolute 4.0.

Good value for cheap price.

The rider who appreciates a simple, good-looking bike, doesn't need to step up to a lighter-weight, better quality ride like the 2.0, but will pay reasonable money for wheels that hold up. We have a customer who commutes year-round on this kind of Fuji and has over 20,000 miles on it. With regularly replaced parts, of course.

FUJI
Absolute 2.0   

Smooth and zippy ride from light frame and carbon fork.

Fuji A2-SL Aluminum frame, Carbon fork w/aluminum steerer, SRAM ISOflow crankset 30/42/52, Shimano Tiagra-level gears and wheels, double-wall 32-spoke rims. Tektro Mini-V brakes.

We once had a customer who had purchased 3 bikes for himself and his wife, all light, fast, skinny-tired road bikes for 20-50 mile pavement rides. He had swapped out the drop bars on all three machines and put on upright bars. This is that bike set up that way from the factory.

People who do charity fundraiser rides like this concept because they aren't initially cyclists but have committed to do something large (like ride 150 miles in two days). You want a bike where you never bend over the bars, but one that will really make the miles slide away faster? Here's your bike.
