leaning to the other side of the fence...

I have the 7.3FX. The only complaint I have is that I can't put disk brakes on it. I knew that when I got it. I chose that one because I didn't want a carbon fork. The carbon fork seemed ridiculous to me. By the time I was through with my bike it weighs 40 pounds. So with a carbon fork it might weigh 39 pounds? But now I wish I had gotten a higher end model, carbon fork and all, so that I could have disk brakes.

I think the deal with the carbon fork is that it dampens road vibrations. I have tennis elbow and a torn rotator cuff, so that might be really helpful. Hopefully
