I have a Fuji Transonic with Flo 30 wheels and Di2. It's a 2.X which is the heavier version of the frame. I use it as a road bike. Limited success with clip on tri bars for sprints/olys.
Performance Bike doesn't seem to be carrying them at this time. Yet, I noticed that a LBS stopped carrying Specialized and started carrying Fuji, specifically Fuji Transonic, on the floor.
What I like is price point, easy to maintain, they're aero and a geometry which makes them similar to other high end bikes in responsiveness. Two former pro riders who did maintenance on the bike expressed surprise at how well the bike rode.
The Transonic seems to be holding price rather well. Maybe because they are scarcer; yet, if the bike wasn't worthwhile that could also be a reason for the price to drop even further.
A downside of being a Fuji Transonic owner is wondering how incrementally better a Specialized, BMC, Trek, Giant, etc. might be. Beyond that, I think the bike is acceptable for 80% of those riding road bikes. With my skill set, I have to remind myself that I'm in that 80% and a Specialied Venge is not going to put me in the A group while a the new Roubaix might only make me more comfortable in the B/C group.
Who else has a Fuji Transonic as one of their bikes? The future of the bike? Is there some love or are you ready to move on?
