Hello!
I am new to the forum. I've being looking around to gather some information about bicycles in general. I'm thinking about buying my first bike and need your suggestions and opinion. I'm looking for a Hybrid mostly. My price range around 550$ CAD. I'm looking for something with good performance but still confortable to ride.
I narrowed it down to 4 bikes;
Trek 7.2 FX 2009 [559.99$ CAD]

I'm found a store that carry all of them in-stock. I'm planning to go see them (test drive too if possible) before buying them. I will use the bike to go to work and week-end ride. Wich one has the better components (gear,seat,brake,etc.) for the price? Wich one will be easily upgradable in the future (if needed)?
I would highly appreciate your suggestions/opinions! I just realise that alot of people here have alot of knowlegde with bikes (valuable information
). I was borrowing (last summer) my father in law's road bike (an old 1980ish...) but I decided it's time to buy one for myself. The road bikes are a bit too expensive for me right now, but the hybrid seems to fit my needs. I will mainly use the bike on asphalt and maybe sometimes a little bit on grass (if I'm in a park or something..).
Thank you in advance! Your help is really appreciated!
