Fuji Stiff

Should I get the Fuji Roubaix Pro or the Specialized Allez Elite Compact?

The Fuji is lighter and has a more agressive setup than the Specialized, but some people say the Fuji isn't very stiff. The Specialized has full Shimano 105 components while the Fuji has 105/Ultegra mix. Both are about $1500.

The Fuji bike has a Carbon seatstays. Better technology compared to the Specialized. The carbon seatstays help dampen the road vibrations as Carbon absorbs vibrations really well without loosing the stiffness.

The Specialized doesn't have carbon seatstays, which is cheaper to do for the manufacturer.
Alloy frames tend to rattle and chatter while riding. Way to solve this is they put a carbon fork and seatpost. Fuji also did this too.
The Fuji is a 105 groupset but instead of a 105 rear derailleur, they add a Ultegra rear derailleur. Ultegra better in reliability and weight.

The Specialized has a cheaper crankset. It's just called a Shimano Compact. Meaning it isn't even a 105, or Tiagra and Sora. (These two names are lower quality than 105)
The Fuji has a FSA integrated crankset, so it should be better than the Specialized crankset.

Hands down the Fuji wins. It offers a better drivetrain, better frame (meaning the Carbon seatstays). That alone is already 3-5 steps more the trouble and advanced for Fuji than it is for Specialized.
They both are in the same price range so it's even a better bargain.
