I've had my 7.4 for about 7 months and I am very happy with it. I just came off a very long stint of no riding at all (9 years, road bike, steel frame) and decided if I'm going to get back into it I'd like to go the hybrid route. This thing weighs about 1/2 of what my old bike did. It seems to be well built and easy to work on. I can't see myself buying another bike for at least another 4 or 5 years if not longer. Very happy.
