Hybrid of Road bike? Trek 1.1 Trek 7.3?

You should try the FX 7.3 to make sure you don't regret if you decided to get the 1.1. Trek's FX fits into what I would call "upright" road bike. There is no "Right" or "Wrong" answer between these two. Cycling is popular in the Twin Cities. There you find people ride all kinds of the bikes. Each has its own strengths, weakness, and appeal.
