I like their cross bikes as well; they are more versatile than road bikes since they can fit a larger tire. You may want to look at those as well.
Thanks for the suggestion. We have at this time 2 Trek FX bikes that we use on trails around town, mostly paved, some gravel and some rough spots. I guess having a cross bike we could use them on these trails as well but then I am thinking we can do that with the FX but just not as fast as a road bike on the roads? You bring up and interesting thought. I'm sure you know much more about the advantages/disadvantage so any other input is appreciated!
