Keep the Hybrid or let it go?

Around Mar 20th I bought a new Trek FX 7.5 to ride and get in shape with. I really liked it. I liked it so much I started reading all the bike magazines. I rode it about 8 to 10 miles a day six days a week.

As I read the bike mags, I started thinking of upgrading my 7.5 to be more like a road bike. As I learned that wouldn't really be a very viable option I started looking for a used road bike to have along with my new hybrid bike. I guess all the years of watching the TDF got me really fixated on a road bike.

I ended up getting very lucky and finding a great deal on a 5 year old Trek 2100 road bike via Craigslist and paying really a fraction of it's worth. I'm very happy with it. It fits me well, rides great and is really fueling my desire to get out and ride. I've been riding the road bike now every day and liking it more and more -- to the extent that I'm not sure I want, or need my month old brand new FX 7.5.

I know a lot of folks here will say to keep it, because we can all use another bike. But It seems to me, if I'm not going to ride it that it should go sooner rather than later.

I guess I'm thinking out loud here -- but what do you other hybrid riders say? Anyone else jump to a road bike out of their new hybrid bike???
