I think that you have an inherent problem here in that you want one bike to serve the needs of two people; regardless of sex. These bikes are pretty different too. The 7300 is more luxury oriented but still performs pretty nicely. The 7.7 is a flat bar road bike, period. Based on MSRP only (you will pay less this time of the year of course), you can get a 7300 and a 7.6 Fx for the price of a 7.7 fx. You both get a bike that fits your needs and you just give in a bit on the 7.6. I think there are many of us that would not mind suffering with such a bike
