Thought there's lots of post exposed and some spacers on the steerer, the stem doesn't seem exceptionally long. Definitely not 'two size' smaller, but a bigger size will fit well too I guess.

It looks like you could be riding a larger frame.

76cm (inseam) x 0.883 = 67,1 cm saddle height (Lemond formula)
I ride a 54 with 73 cm saddle height and think it is a bit big.
49 doesn't seem that out of place to me.

How's the ride quality on these? I've never really been interested in a Fuji but the weight is too good to ignore.

awesome!!! i have the same frame and its stiff light, fast, the pedaling response is amazing due to its very big chain stays., it also only has four bonding points which makes a lighter and stiffer frame, unlike most frames that have up 6 to 12 bonding points which makes for a heavier and less stiff frame. fuji really stepped their game up with this frame. oh and lets not forget the high compaction molding that they use on the frame eliminating any internal carbon wrinkles. yeah its sweet frame.

Super responsive, quick, stiff frame, that descends very well. Front end is a little on the stiff side for poor roads. I would not choose this bike for Paris-Roubaix, but I've done over a dozen centuries on it, on not-so-nice roads, and it is fantastic. It is very much a race geometry, even more so than my Addicts, but I love riding it because of it's responsiveness. Total build with pedals is 12.9 lbs or 5.85 Kg.

Very nice build indeed - hard to get hold of these frames in Europe.

How are you liking the Starlight wheels?
