Question about Trek FX bike

[Catrin]

Thanks Catrin for the idea. That sounds doable if I can't get my LOOK to be better. Also thought of getting slicks for the mountain bike because there are too many ticks around right now. I may do that with the Dolce since I don't ride that regularly anymore. It is my bad weather/trainer bike. The Trek FX is too big and would be a waste of money.

I wish you luck, whatever you decide - though simple approaches are always best to try first.

There were a few people who tried to talk me out of the conversion - including the head mechanic at my LBS - but not my fitter.

The Trek FX is a nice bike, I have the 2010 7.6 FX in the smallest size - but I think it is just a little too large for me - now that I have something with which to compare it. Am trying to decide if I want to spend yet more money for a re-fit and maybe go with higher riser bars to try and decrease my reach - or just give in and sell it - and replace it with something like a Jamis Coda, or some other steel flat-bar road bike to go along with The Wanderer.
