Without wanting to disparage any icons, the Fuji Ace was a slight disappointment to me when they premiered.... as the frame was not nearly as nicely made as the Finest. The Finest had obviously received more handbuilding attention and perhaps was not very "efficiently" made... The Ace was a great color (IMO) but the lugs and fitments were more high production, more plug-and-play than I had hoped. Seemed odd to me, as Dura Ace was a pretty hot thing and I expected the frame in the model to be more refined. Still a neat bike though!!
