"I bought the 7.3 FX after quite a bit of research and comparison. My daily commuting rides soon turned into day long journeys through town and to the next town, and on several of the rails-to-trails here in the state. In the 8 months I've had the bike I've logged over 3500 miles.

I recently put the 7.3 FX to the test with a trip across the state of Florida. Even heavily laden it handled well and was comfortable even after long days in the saddle.

This is a good bike for commuting, riding paved trails, and riding around town. It worked well as a touring bike. With cyclecross tires I've ridden crushed shell and dirt trails with no problem - not recommended on the stock Race Lites!

The bike is heavy, though. And the upright posture is not the most aerodynamic. But if you want all that get a real road bike."
