I didn't have a lot of time so I didn't want to rush it, but I was very close to getting one.

Yesterday I'd gone to Performance Bikes and the salesman put me on a 17" frame that just felt too big (I'm 5'2"). He told me I have long limbs (not true), and it felt like he would've said whatever to get a sale, not put me on the right bike for me.

So this morning fiance and I went to the local Trek store. There was no pressure. I tried the Trek 7.3 FX WSD and it felt fine. I don't have a lot to compare it to! And then I tried a comfort fit, and that was very comfortable but I was very upright and fiance didn't like how heavy it was. He said he thinks I'd get much more tired on that bike, and since I want to do long rides and will likely never take it to the grocery for short errands he said I'd probably like the FX better. I'm still mulling it over. The 7.3 was $619. There was a 7.2 that I liked the looks of but they only had it assembled in a 19". It's $549 IIRC and the salesman said just call and they can assemble it for me to give a test-ride.

There's another LBS that has all kinds of brands so I'm going to check that out as well. Getting closer to owning one!

Anyone have any comments on the Trek 7.3 FX WSD? The reviews I see online are very good.
