I use to commute with my mountain bike to work 12 miles one way which was ok but it was too heavy going up hills, Just got the fx 7.3 which makes my commute so light and easy and I did not even build but a sweat like I always did on my mountain bike the only real down side for me so far with the fx 7.3 is that the ride is not so smooth as my old mountain bike the rest is all a plus plus plus.....
Thanks ye im not sure if to get a fx series or Trek’s 7000 series are them bikes alot slower i wana fast road bike that i can use on maybe dirt paths and around the park and stuff
@simonheart007 The FX series is fine for packed dirt paths. Serious trails should be tackled with a rigid 29er and still have respectable speed on the road. It's not smart to buy a bike then replace the wheels right away.. because the wheels are the most expensive part of the bike!
@simonheart007 The frame is a bit stiff to do it smoothly, it's a hybrid road racing bike. I have done it (to skip/hop/jump around traffic) a fair few times but it's not the most comfortable thing in the world
@projektmayhem ya ive dont it many time before. i do it very slowly cause it hurts. the frame is definately touch enough to do it, but only when you have to shuold u do it
@mbenson2790 only the 7.9 is fiber the rest are aluminum (main frame) and a aluminum fork (7.1-7.3) or carbon fork (7.5-7.9). I just picked up the 2010 7.3 and I love it. Great ride for the money.
ive got the 2009 version, bought it for $447, it was on sale! best bike ever had

I got a 7.3 myself, very light & smooth. Will a Carbon fork make a big difference?

@simonheart007 You could get an FX series frame and put thicker rimmed wheels/tyres on. That would probably suit you better
