As mentioned in the classifieds, my Bianchi is potentially on its way to a new home. I'm in the hunt for a new bike and have it narrowed down to two:

Bridgestone 300: http://delaware.craigslist.org/bik/4646083137.html

Fuji Saratoga: http://cnj.craigslist.org/bik/4650688716.html

Which of these should I go with? What do thee hive say?

How tall are you? Because that Bridgestone is tiny. Otherwise they are both nice lugged steel frames from the long-lost days of Japanese bike craftsmanship, but mid-end for both manufacturers.

either one looks good if they fit you. What kind of riding you doing?

FWIW, if you wait until winter is upon us bike prices should drop across the board.
Not that long of a wait now.

I am about 5'6 and a half. The type of riding I would be doing is road riding. I like going out and just riding 25-30 miles. I want something that is going to be comfortable. If I go with the Fuji, I was thinking about trying out a cyclocross race with it.

I ended up buying the Fuji. It looked better in person that the pictures portrayed it to be.
