Bike Envy Turning to Obsession

Just make sure it feels right When you're straddling it, you can't see it that well, anyway.
I put 3-4000 miles/year on my Trek 7500FX (about $700) and anotehr 3-4000 on my Giant Nutra (about $400). I do have to replace parts when they wear out, now and then but they ride and ride and ride.

Thank you for all the advice. I appreciate everyone taking the time to write. The closest bike stores were closed so we went to a bike store a neighbour recommended a few towns away. I tried several different styles and sizes of bikes on the trail and ended up buying a Trek 1000. I did try out two Trek WSD models and neither felt right for my body, so apparently I am an odd shape. To my husband's relief it was the middle priced one. I had no idea what the prices were when I chose and neither did he, which was causing him to looked a little pale, even in the heat. I read numerous times many of you saying how the bike just felt right, but I never truly understood until today. My new bike just feels as though it was meant to be. I love it and do plan to ride tomorrow, we are supposed to be around 103-104 degrees with humidity, so I shall try to get out early.
