I was a at shop today, and saw a Giant FCR. They are a "Fitness Road Bike", but looked like a larger tired hybrid. The FCR3 had 700X35 tires, and looked great for either starting out, or doing a metric century. They are the "FCR" line. I was looking at the FCR3. I think they have that in "XS" size.
