Why we like this bike

It really fills the bill for everyday getting around, some dirt roads, and it's the tool of choice for loaded touring. Room for fenders and at least 35mm tires (we haven't tried 38mm tires yet with fenders).

We've seen beautiful Co-Motions with S&S take-apart couplings, Cannondales with upscale Ultegra gear, and other niceties. It's cool to show up for that group tour with such nice machines. This Fuji doesn't have low spoke-count wheels or a 3-pound frame or a carbon fiber fork—and we think that's good. When the airlines ding your top tube, your dropout cracks from overloading, and you break tired spokes straining up hills with a fifty pound load, you'll smile to know all that stuff can get fixed on your Fuji Touring bike.

Who is this bike for? Riders who want to sit on it all day, don't need zippy handling, might want to carry packs or explore not-so-smooth roads, and don't want a fat-tire bike.
