Hey guys, I just hit 50. Its been years since I rode but I used to love it. I have test rode many bikes lately. I believe hybrid is the way to go for me (long rides around town and hopefully more). I'm looking at the Trek 7100 and the Giant Cypress. I'm leaning towards the trek 7100 because it leans towards fast as opposed to the Cypress leaning towards comfort. This thread is roughly stating the same thing with regards to the fx 7.1 as opposed to the 7100. I compared the 7100 specs to the FX 7.1. I really didn't see too much difference. Is this newbie missing something?
