The Trek 7200 is not in the same class as the Sirrus and FCR/OCR. The comparison should be made with the Trek FX series.

I’m 5′7″ female, large build, looking for a bike for city riding for exercise and cruising. Between the Specialized Dolce and the Giant OCR3W what’s my best bet. Similar pricing–Specialized is a bit more expensive. Thanks!

I signed up for a 45 mile bike race but will do most of my training on a stone trail. I am looking for a hybrid that is built for women. I am only about 5 feet tall so I would like a small fram. I have been looking at the Trek, Giant and Specialized bikes.I was wondering what do you think would be the best bike for me?Thanks

Hi. Unfortunately my last bike (Ridgeback Tempest) was stolen so now I am looking for a faster hybrid, which is still comfortable on the not-so-great roads where I commute. The best I have come across so far is the Specialized Sirrus Sport but I am wondering if it’s best to just get the ‘08 Sirrus? Does anyone have any advice? Thanks. Ian

I am a short (5 foot) woman looking for a good starter bike to be used mostly on short distance (less than 20 miles) rides. Two local stores recommended the Specialized Vita model, especially since it is designed to fit women. How would you compare this bike with others in this price range?

I live in Chicago (flatland) looking for a hybrid with fitness purposes to grow in to. A bike with handle bars that will not break my back. I am female, 5″7 H, with a 31 inch inseam. My Torso is equal with my legs. Cannot decide between Giant FCR2 Med top tube 53cm for $700 vs Specialized Vita Lrg in White for $540 (top tube 56cm). I like the raised handlebar of the Giant but the look of the Specialized. Also, I would have to pay extra for Specialized Vita for them to raise the stem that’s similar to the FCR2. Please help need to decide now.
