Thank you for your replies. The 7300 is a little more than what I want to spend. Right now I am mostly riding around my suburb neighborhood in Omaha Nebraska which has hills a-plenty. I may want the longer gears of the 7200. I know with my Schwinn on flat roads I am able to pedal as fast as I can in it's final gear (21), when a higher gear would increase my speed. When I first started riding again I found myself hunting for lower gears on hills. Now I blast into them sometimes in final gear standing on the pedals. I found out that the front suspension can work against you so I slightly sway the bike side to side to avoid this. After my rides my hands get a little sore even though I play the drums. I was considering the 7000 (solid fork) for that reason before I found the work around.
