Mountain Bike Circuit
Looking at a bike for fitness. Already own a MTB, looking for new Road/Fitness bike.?
I’ve done mountain biking for years and i own a pretty nice setup when it comes to mountain biking. The bad part is that the nearest trail is about an hour from my home and so i cant get out there as often as i would like and even less to work out. I lift weights but i am looking for a good carido type things so i am looking at a type of road bike. I narrowed it down to either the Trek 1500, Giant OCR/TCR models or at a Trek 7.3/7.5 or Giant FCR. Remember, its for fitness and not a big step in to the road circuit. What is your advice.
The Trek 7.3 and 7.5 are a tough act to follow – I myself use a 7.3 to commute on!
The new frame for ’07 features a VERY SOLID hydro formed frame and LOVES hills!
Trek was the first to do the hybrid bike and the first to do a TRUE fitness hybrid, you can’t go wrong with the Trek.
These bikes are deceivingly fast, and continually sell off the floor like nothing else.
Good for your ride up to about 40 mile, the FX’s will have you riding more comfortable and faster than you ever thought you could.
BTW… My ride to work is 13 miles, and my ride times are the nearly the same with the FX as they are with the Madone. Test ride one and you’ll see what all the sales are about!
