I test road the 7.2FX today and thought the fit for me was better the Giant city Escape and the ride was good. They won't have the 7.3FX in my size until Friday so I couldn't test ride it yet but at this point I may spend the extra money on fenders ($50) and a rack ($40) instead and get the 7.2FX. It's on sale for $500.00, I don't think it's a great sale but don't think I can find it anywhere cheaper.
Also the Fender/Rack won't effect the performance of the Bike, will it?
