Thanks, everyone. Now...my closest LBS sells Giant & Cannondale as major brands. They have a 2009 Cannondale Quick 6 for $399. From what I've read, this bike isn't much above a big box store bike, correct? I've always wanted a Trek...just like I've always wanted a Harley...and I've had the Giant brand in a previous bike. So, in the FX line, is a 7.3 better quality than the 7.2?

I'm sorry for the noob questions...I just want to get this right.
