I am trying to buy my first bike and I have a couple of choices. I need a bike that is comfortable and one that I can ride through a bike path. Can anyone help me decide which is a better choice: Raleigh SC7, Trek '04 Women's Navigator 100, or the Trek 7100. I'd also appreciate if someone can tell me why they made their choice.


Thanks so much

Hi! I am also new here but did just buy a Trek 7300. I just liked the feel of the Trek bikes better than the Raleighs when I test rode them. I went with the 7000 series because the Navigator seemed a little too slow because of the thick tires and heavier frame, plus the 7000 series seems to be a good bike for streets and clean bike paths. As far as comfort, mine feels pretty good for a bike. I just need to get in better shape! Many people here seem to like the 7100. I rode one and liked it very much, but the great price on a new but older year model 7300 took me in that direction.

I've had my TREK 7200 for a month and love it. Prior to getting the TREK I was riding a tank called a HUFFY. Why did I get the TREK 7200? It was comfortable and fun to ride! It was also in my price range that I could afford.
