So I'm thinking of buying either a Trek 7500 or 7700.

I want a bike that I can take on longer ride (15+ miles) on the road and also something I can ride around town.

Will these bikes work for that? My concern is that the bike is suitable for long rides. I want to ride more seriously, but don't want a road bike (not just yet, anyway).

Any feedback? Does anyone own either of these bikes?

Thanks!
