Fitness bikes are basically like a road bike, except they have a more upright positions. The majority of our customers have road bikes, but they don't want that stretched top tube - they want to be in a more upright position; that's a fitness bike. The majority of our customers want a fitness bike with a 700c rim, and it's the same as the Tour de France bikes, but it has a comfortable seat and a comfortable handlebar position and stand position - to me, that's a fitness bike.
