I'm test riding a Fuji D6 Comp at the weekend. Has anyone test rode or own a D6??
"real world" experience is worth alot more than the company say-so!

Basicly it's a great bike for the price.... the wheels are crap so you'll want to dump them and get some decent ones.
The cockpit is functional rather than sexy but for the dosh, the frame is mint, SRAM rival is not bad at all.
I've test ridden one and it certainly picks up speed fast, very comfy and looks the nuts.
Make sure you get the right size too. Shame you can only buy from Evans but all in all it's a great bike.
test rode a 54" thinking that since I'm 5ft9" that fits the chart recomendation. not sure whether it felt alittle small??
barring a "no" from the wife - i think evans have made a sale!
Reviews have all been great but the reviewers have'nt had to service them themselves and Matt Reed and pro teams have a bunch of techs to work on theirs. I would love to hear from soneone who's had one for a while.
oh - and the wheels may not be branded as such but they are fantastic quality for an alloy wheel and they help keep the price competitive - watch out for the previews of the 2011 models on Fuji's facebook page to see some big changes in the parts department across the whole range
fuji_fod - do you know if you can DIY retrofit Dura Ace Di2 to the bike (like the Matt Reed model) ?? and if i can use the Di2 Internal cable option? ???
My end plan is combine the Di2 with some xentis tri bars that allow you to use standard STI shifters and bar ends on the same bike for IM Lanzarote - best of both worlds for climbing and long flat
