OK...Now I am little more confused.
I road a Gary Fisher Tiburon last night. I also like the look of the Trek 7200FX. I see that mountain bikes are less expensive, like the Gary Fisher Mako is under $250.
I definitely don't want comfort so it is either a hybrid like the bikes mentioned above or a mountain bike. Then only difference I can see is wheel/tire size and a slight difference in the frame. Is this true?
From where I am looking, Trek or another large bike company should produce a low-end hybrid costing no more than $250 with lower end Shimano parts. This would attract riders like myself who are just starting out. I don't understand why I can by a comfort hybrid or a mountain bike for around $250 but as soon as we call it a hybrid the price starts at $330.
I am thinking about the mountain bike advice that cyccommute gave.
Other thoughts? Any trustworthy have a used 7200FX they want to sell to make way for a 7700FX?
