Hi guys, been enjoying reading the board lately and decided to sign up and join the party.
I need some help with selecting the right Trek model.
I'm not sure if it matters but a bit about me - I'm 6'0, fit guy, been a 10K runner for a few years now and I really want to start riding a bike again! I'm talking about city riding, to friends and to and back from to work, around 11 K ride (one way).
I've done my research and came up with 3 models I believe will fit my needs and budget nicely :
7.3 FX :
7.3 FX | Trek Bikes
FX 3 :
FX 3 | Trek Bikes
7.4 FX :
7.4 FX | Trek Bikes
Would really help me if someone could break down the main differences in these models and rate them "best to worst". I'm not sure I can get the 7.4 (which seems to be the best one) so would be very happy to read a explanation about the difference between 7.3 and FX 3.
How come a Carbon fork in the FX3 (instead of Alloy in the 7.3) only cost 40$ more? I was led to believe Carbon cost a lot more?
Appreciate any help
