newbie shopping for hybrid

[badgercat]

That's a 2007 FX7.2

Ah, this year's is a very different color (light blue) which is probably why I didn't recognize it. I think I like yours better. :P

I have an older Trek 7100 fx (more similar to current 7.2fx) and I love it. I use it for commuting (30 km/day), it has a rack and fenders, but I've changed the tires for narrow slicks (very similar to my road bike) because I have no need for wider ones. I love that the wheels are 700. The componentry on that bike is much better than many bikes of similar price.

My goodness, so much praise for Trek! I think I'll have to make a visit to my local Trek dealer tomorrow and check this stuff out for myself.

Thanks for all the opinions so far, everyone!
