Trek 7100. The commute is all road. I just bought the bike 8 weeks ago, and I love it. The max speed on this thing seems to be around 26 MPH, so I may need to address that at some time. I only reach that speed going downhill at the moment.

The suspension as delivered was WAY too soft. The first time I tried standing up to climb a hill, all of the energy when into compressing the suspension! I've stiffened it up quite a bit. I can also dial it down on the fly if I come to a bumpy patch or mostly level riding.

All in all I love the bike, but there are definitely times I wish I were on a road bike.
