Granted, I am not used to a drop bar bike but I found the Sora's most uncomfortable and awkward.
As I mentioned previously I did like the Sirrus Comp and the Trek 7.5 FX. Would it be very expensive to change the FX to a more "road" type gearing so that it is comparable to the Sirrus Comp or would the cost make up the price difference between the two bikes? (FX lists for $699, Comp for $880)
