Need advice on my first bike! Trek 4300, 7200 FX or Giant Rincon?
I'm buying my first bike and I've done a lot of research, but still can't decide what's right for me. I'll mainly be riding on hardpan dirt and hilly roads. I want something that will handle the roads efficiently, but will be ok up and down bumpy inclines of maybe 15-20 degrees. I'm leaning towards the Trek 7200 FX, but the more I read, the more I'm tempted to get a mountain bike like the Trek 4300 or the Giant Rincon instead of the hybrid. Will the MTB be ok on the street? Please send advice my way!

I'd get the TREK 7200FX. It's a great bike and well suited for what you want to ride.
