Seriously though, I never looked at the higher end of these bikes, and I am surprised at how much they cost. Part of what makes road bikes expensive is the integrated shifting, and these bikes bypass that, and yet cost as much as some nicely equipped road bikes.
True - TREK labels them "Fitness Hybrids" Don't want to get into the WTF is a hybrid discussion. I too kind of think of my 7.6FX as a road bike with flat bars. My wife questioned why I needed to spend that amount of $ on a new bike.....until she road a 7.6FX, the bike sold itself.
