So, I'm hoping to get some feedback on my un-easy decision of getting new bike.

I currently ride Trek FS Rumblefish on mountain trails. I'd like to get second bike so I could do other types of trails / rides, like compressed dust and pavements.

After extended research I set my eyes on Trek FX 7.5. On another bike forum, the question was raised - why don't I get road bike? To me FX 7.5 seems almost like a road bike: light weight, rigid carbon fork, road gearing, slim tires. It just more versatile, and has flat handlebars.

So, my main question is: should I be getting road bike instead?

Thank you very much!
