Hi Mountainash - Me too on the measurements!
I've been riding a Trek 7.3WSD for the last 2 years and I've really loved it. It can be a bit jarring but I suspect thats the high preassure tyres (110psi). If you're currently on a dept. store bike the first thing I noticed about the Trek was how much faster it was, those high pressure tires might hurt a bit but they fly!
For the first time ever I could keep up with my partner on his road bike - This bike made me fall in love with riding!
Having said that, I'm now upgrading to a Cross Check for longer tours (prefer drop bars for all day rides). I've taken the Trek on some serious apline climbs and its absolutely perfect for commuting.
Did you try the 15" S frame or the 13" XS? Was is just the hardness of the ride you didn't like?
