trek 7.2fx versus trek 7200

My biggest issue with the FX for longer rides is that my wrists and arms would get really sore. Plus, you can't get down at all in the wind. To me, that was an additional disadvantage.

It depends on the person and the bike setup. I have a flatbar with the handlebars set a couple inches below the saddle. I also have bar ends that allow me to stretch myself out even further and also keep my hands in a neutral position. Often, people have tall stems on these bikes that do have them too upright for long rides.

I think it takes a willingness to mess around with the setup of any bike you get in order to be comfy on it for long stretches.

I have the 7.2FX. I like it for the type of riding I do. I can't really do the drop bar style due to a bad back and finances were an issue also so this was the next best for me.
