Hi,
I'm a 64 y.o. who's been biking for a few 24 hrs. I rode a road bike for years until my lower back didn't like it--yea for physical therapists!--then rode recumbents for years until it just seemed too difficult. Anyway, I'm wanting to buy a more upright bike and am thinking about a flat-barred(?) road bike, specifically a Trek FX 7.2 or 7.3.
I have a couple of questions--
Is there an equivalent bike of another brand?
I think I'm pretty set on the 7.3 but is there anyone familiar with the two Treks to have an opinion about the differences?
Anyone want to buy my Bachetta Cafe? :lol:
\Thanks for any help!
