Oops that did not work out as she did not like the 7.6 WSD or the 7.7 but loved the 7300 WSD.
I hate it when a plan does not come together
I think what she liked about the 7300 was the higher handle bars. Can the 7.7 be converted fairly easy that I could switch out fast?
To make the bars on a 7.7FX as high as a 7300 you would need an adjustable stem and a higher rise handlebar. The stem would be a fairly quick swap but the handlebar not so much. Either swap would be a PITA if you had to keep switching back and forth. For the price of a 7.7FX you could probably get a 7.3FX AND the 7300. Or a 7.5FX and a 7200. Or a .... well, you get the idea.
