oh....so, is the 7000 a sit up and beg, or....?
i do like a "sporting" position." not roadie style, but not english gentleman, either....
i might.....MIGHT be able to stretch to the fx 7.1 (it is the same price as the specialized crosstrails i have looked at)


(i will defend my schwinn by stating it has served me well, upgrades have gone well, but the cheap suspension, and lack of available information on it is a pain in the backside. cheapest way out is to do the rigid fork, but what if the BB goes? what size? questions like that....)
