Okay, today I bought a 7400FX, 2005 model so at a great deal. (I tried to buy the 7200fx on craigslist, but I got beat out!). Rode it home today and I have to say it seemed pretty great! I need to change the saddle, though... Thanks so much for all of your advice. If not for it, I think I would probably be riding much more of a comfort bike tomorrow, slugging up those hills! The fx seems like a perfect compromise--a hybrid, but more on the road bike side. Feels pretty quick to me! (But watch, if you're right, I'll be back here asking for advice on road bikes in three months!)
