I just learned how to ride a year ago & was faced with this choice this summer when it became increasingly apparent that my Trek 7.6 FX WSD would never be comfortable for a ride > 20 miles. It didn't quite fit, and my fitter wasn't confident that it could ever really fit me - it was just too big and my physical 'issues' didn't help. I chose to cut my losses and sold it. It was nice to have the money to sink into some other things I needed/wanted for my LHT and I no longer had walk past the Trek. I did, and still have, mixed feelings about selling her, but am glad that I did.
