Whoo hooooo after complaining forever about how much I hated my old bike, I finally had a few days off from work and went bike shopping. I tried 6 different bikes and ended up falling for a ............................................
Giant FCR 3w!!! It is perfect for what I want. Something I can get on and ride that has some speed and is nice and responsive. I ride mostly for fitness but I am using my bike more now for running errands around town due to the cost of gas.
I am so excited to have a new bike!!!!
Here she is!!

It looks so classy.
You will look so smart riding on her. Have you given your bike a name?

Zen, I am 5'6 with a 30" inseam. I ended up with the small frame. I tried the medium and it felt just a bit to big but as soon as I tried the small it just felt right.
Which Trek is that Zen?

That's last year's 7.2.
This year's model is the girly powder blue which did not excite me.
The shop was having a close-out sale and when I saw the black with pink accents I said "SOLD!"
it's the next best thing to red
It's 13" which probably equates to small. I have a 29" inseam.Last edited by Zen; 05-22-2008 at 12:59 PM.

Nice! My daughter bought a Giant FCR a couple of years ago. She has really enjoyed riding it. My husband, who rides the same size, likes it too. It's alot faster and smoother than his MTB.
I won't show her the picture of your smokin hot red bike, she'll want to up-grade! bikerHen
