Well they seem to get a top rating year after year from all major bike testers, I've test them in the past and find them a brilliant bike. They aren't the best at climbing although still good but point them down a rocky decent and you'll be amazed. It's all down to the rider really. But the frame is renown for its excellent build quality. And the best thing of all is its BRITISH, built in Halifax.
Where do you ride, that is also a big player in the choice of a bike?

Are they not finished off in the uk? I thought they came pre assembled from the far east?
No built from scratch in the UK. There was a video somewhere IIRC on the net showing the process to build a frame.

Ah found what I was reading a while a go, it was regarding the hardtails being made abroad.
Never EVER put something like this up again without a health warning.... Its bad enough in here with IC's shenanigans with the colour coding without that.... THING!!

Just picked up this
Trek FX 7.3
Before I just had a generic ralleigh mountain bike, I picked up this with the intention of getting some exercise. Ive noticed I can "go further" now before I need a break, I also travel faster than before I think.
Basically just after some words that I've bought the right thing, thanks guys.

I also had a look at some boardman hybrids in halfords, I went to a bike shop in town and the guy there told us the ride of the boardmans would be very poor in gravel type stuff.
Anyone got any experiences with this bike range?

You say that now, but when you stumble upon some decent singletrack, you'll see the light, quit your job and spend your days riding trails in the woods.

Wrong thread... not the big bike thread, but the "Big-Bike thread" ... we here like to discuss big bikes, not thing that go on the road.

It was originally, but then the commuting thread got more roadie content. It's all good though 
It is, all are welcome, most of the spandex gimp suit wearers can't stand our manliness though and went and made their own thread about immac and stuff.
