Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Trek 7.3 FX or Giant Defy 3

Which of these would you recommend? The price between the two seems fairly comperable, but I'm a bit too much of a novice to understand the technical differences between the two. Thanks for your help!

The bikes are very different. The Trek will be a much more upright position, a hybrid type bike. The Giant is a comfort geometry road bike, it will have a more stretched out feel amongst other things. Ride both of these bikes, then choose whether or not you want a hybrid style or comfort road bike. Then look over all the offerings and make a more similar comparison.

Sorry I meant to ask how the Trek 1.2 compares...not the 7.3 FX. I posted a new thread due to the mistake...
