Trek FX Livestrong

The bike store people told me my 7.7 is essentially a road bike with straight handlebars. I have done 12 centuries on it and on my 7.3. I am totally comfortable on it. The 7.3 has 6000 miles on it and the 7.7 has 3500!

I think you can say that about the entire FX line, and any number of other flat bar bikes. I think the term "road bike," is a bit vague anyway. Any bike you ride on the road is essentially a road bike. It's a matter of finding which features and geometries work best for you.

My friend, bought a Vita Sport, had it for a little less than 2 years, and just bought a Specialized Ruby Elite. She said she would never buy a road bike, use clip less pedals, or climb big hills.
Yeah, right. She's totally addicted. And while she is not super fast, she is dedicated.
