[QUOTE=bikeless in WI]While UK Elephant was testing saddles and shoes, I test rode a Trek 7.6 on "the beautiful bike path by the lake". Wheeeee!
Wow! Is that the beautiful red FX 7.6? That's the bike I'm may buy next. Want a hybrid to use for commuting and errands - and it looks to be the perfect bike. I plan to try one on Sunday.

14 mile commute to work
14 mile commute home

[QUOTE=withm]
Yep. The very one. Sort of road end of the hybrid scale. There's also a mountain version (silver) with more of a gear span for climbing, but also somewhat more weight. The guy at the shop had me on a wsd version and a men's 20" frame. Turns out the 20" fit me better and might be just about perfect with the 70mm 17degree stem. My bike back home is more or less like the mountain version of this bike (7.5?), cuz 7 years ago there wasn't this whole range of hybrids from nearly a comfort bike to nearly a road bike. So maybe I'll just upgrade my old one. We'll see.
