Hey out there…I am in Canada looking for a new bike…I bought my partner a top of the line santa cruz julianna in 2008 …she has ridden it maybe 6 times… it was too technical of a bike for her..and she didn’t like the mountain biking scene…so I recently got her a specialized vita elite…oh my goodness, she is happy as a clam!!! Due to a back injury myself, I gave up my own mountain bike to my son and my racing road bike to my daughter (they are both thrilled) but I am bike-less….so I am looking to downgrade myself to a hybrid similar to my partners…I was looking at the 2010 specialized vita comp…but I have been offered a trade…her santa cruz(new it was $2000)… for a new 2011 Trek fx 7.5 wsd (1000)? Any thoughts out there? thanks…i have ridden the Vita Elite and it felt pretty good...I need the flat bars now and an upright position...I have been told that the Trek is comparable..
