Yes, you have a rigid. However, the shock post & seat were the 1st thing I got tired of. I broke the nylon pedals in about 2 weeks. Ditching the freewheel is a plus too. However, the factory rims are single wall & very prone to deflection problems / popping spokes.

I have a 7000 (if you haven't figured it out yet), and although I enjoy it, the more I rode it, the more I found myself changing out parts. So far I've changed out the bars, neck (comes loose alot), pedals, rear rim, tires, seat, seat post,etc..The bike got be back into riding after a long hiatus, but having to do it over, I'd buy the FX to skip all the "upgrades" and save some money while still having a fun, yet comfortable bike to ride.
