From the picture of the seat/handlebar - it looks like your house is jacked-up! LOL. Is that an FX WDS frame? I don't get it..

Anywho - one thing that hasn't been brought up: Have you had/ridden an aluminum-framed bike before this? If not, that could explain your control-issues. Aluminum frames act differently than the old-style steel framed bikes we all (most of us) grew up with. They turn sharper and are less forgiving by nature. Aluminum is like a rigid panel. Very little give - spring - to them. And it seems bike-shops never point this out to their customers. So I often have to explain to people, lying in the road sometimes, that this is the case. I recommend that the new owner of the aluminum-framed bike, like the FX 7.2, take it out to a vacant parking-lot and learn to ride it. Start slow. Once you get the hang of how these bikes behave, you can turn the scary quickness of it into an asset. But you need to practice.
