In order for us to help you best, please answer the following questions:
1) Where will you keep your bike at night there at the Univesity?
2) On what type of road surfaces will you be traveling?
3) Are there any hills to traverse on your daily trek?
4) What is the absolute ceiling of your bike budget?
5) Are you certain about the Trek 7.1FX or are you open to other suggestions?
6) Does the frame material matter to you (steel vs. aluminum)?

Thank you!
1) I keep my bike in my apartment and office, so there is no worry about it being stolen. (Keeps it clean also.)
2) I mostly travel on paved road and occasionally on dirt paths.
3) Yes, there are some mild hills involved.
4) I'd maybe be willing to stretch up to $600 out-the-door.
5) I'm definitely open to all suggestions.
6) I don't know much about frame material. Are there benefits for each one?
