My GF has a 7300---It was her first bike in 20 yrs

She seems to like it--other than the ass hatchet saddle that came with it

it depends what you are gonna use it for. The hybrids are ok for neighborhood/path rides.

I dont like the grip shifters and was never a fan of the adjustable stems. But to each his own. They are good bikes to get someone into cycling. If you plan on doing long rides, you might as well just get a road bike. I bought a mtb that i kinda converted into a hybrid when i first got into this. I love cyclign but regret not getting a ful blown road bike.

Go find a good lbs and ask a lot of questions. Tell them what you plan to use it for.

A lot of people buy bikes w/out ever thinking about how they will use it and end up buying the wrong kind (myself included).

But, like i said--they are good bikes. Just be prepared to want to upgrade if you really get into cycling.
