This has to be one of the most common stories on TE, lol.

I bought my 7.5 FX in Jan 2011, and swore I was not a road bike kinda girl, and you'd NEVER ccatch me on one.

I rode it last summer and fall and loved it, but was already dreaming of a road bike. I'm glad on I started on teh FX, because i had a LOT to learn about cycling (gears, road rules, etc) and I think I would have been nervous on a road bike.

I bought a Lexa SLX in Nov of last year and love it! So happy on it, but like I said, really glad I started on teh FX.

Is your FX a double or triple? That was one big adjustment for me....going from teh triple FX to the double Lexa. But, it's all good.

Enjoy your riding!
