New member looking to purchase bike
Hello everyone. I am looking to commute to work a couple days a week (eventually more days later on, I hope). I tried doing this a couple years ago but got discouraged with the experience. I'm ready to try again but I need to purchase a bike. I have looked at several, but I don't want to pay an enormous amount for something that may not work out. So....I have looked at a Trek 7200, Trek Navigator 300, and Giant Cypress DX. If anyone here has any info on the comparison of these bikes, I would greatly appreciate your input. My commute would be ~ 8 miles one way.
Thanks in advance. |

Re: New member looking to purchase bike
I am not familiar with all the bikes you quote, however the Giant Perigee would be a better choice. Similar upright riding position to the Cypress but better road performance from the tyre and gear selection.
If you go for the Cypress try it with 28mm slicks. cheers George |

I have a Trek 7300 and I love it for general riding, but to be honest I am looking at addingl road bike bike to the stable for those long weekend rides. Also i suggest that if you do buy a hybrid that unless you intend to do off road replace the tires with thiner road slicks.
