You're suggesting I wear a head mounted mirror while driving a car? Because that was what I was referring to - being in the position of a car driver, hearing a honk, and correcting the position of my...

Disagree. I appreciate when someone passing me alerts me to their presence, and that is exactly the right thing to yell out. It's better than not being aware of them at all and wandering into their...

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. If a car is about to squish you, chances are they don't see you. A honk is going to get their attention and I think most people would check and right themselves....

You wouldn't want to holler at someone about to run you over with a 2 ton death machine? Personally, I'd offend someone with a loud noise rather than die.

Where are you? Depending on which bike shop you go to - they may do price matching, so it pays to shop around and ask. Since the 2013 models just came in to all dealers, they're probably trying to...

How awful. Reading the article's comments about how the tools were so specific, I'm wondering if whoever did this had a larger plan in mind - like, if they're bicycle thieves who need the tools to...

Hi Alfredo,
I'm a bike noob too and was in kind of the same boat as you a few weeks ago, starting my bicycle shopping. One of the things I found out in narrowing the shop I wanted to do business...

You know, if you hate looking at a white bike, that's going to bug you every day you own it. It may be superficial, but it's true. It's your bike, you might as well love it. Get something you'll...

I agree with SlimRider. Test out the Coda Comp before you hit the trigger. I'm hoping it works out for you! If anything, I'd see if I could cancel that Giant order at the first store, since so much...

This is so true! I am not a pro cycler by any means, but when I visited my sister in either Boston or NY, I would rent out a bike and ride around with her. She always had her cruiser, and I would...

Okay. Well, thanks everyone who had input on this thread! I've decided to go with the 2013. If something breaks, I'm going to just upgrade it to something better.

That's what was stopping me from ordering the 2013 - the r.der. on the 2012 is just *sightly* better, and with the 8 sp cassette it might last longer. Good to know about the gearing being a non-issue...

Actually I found the bars to be quite comfortable. Maybe I'll be singing a different tune in a month or two, but just starting out, it's fine. Sucks about not being able to easily mount a mirror...

LOL. I don't! I really don't know. I only have test ridden the 2012 FX 7.3 in the men's 15"; whatever bike I get, I'm buying somewhat blind since I'm ordering the WSD & am getting a 13" frame. If I...

Oh, I thought you meant that you had upgraded an 8 spd to a 9. I was asking if you noticed a difference from before (the 8) to the after (the 9). Good to know that there's little difference between...

See, the reason I liked the 7.3 over the 7.1 was because it was "zippier," lighter, and seemed more comfortable. It was just more fun to ride. The 7.1 also had the 700x35c tires and honestly, I felt...

@dusty01 Please elucidate! Tell me why it's a better deal. For some reason, I only tried the 7.1 and the 7.3, but they skipped over the 7.2 at all the Trek dealers I visited.
