    So i'm trying to decide on a hybrid bike and i thought "Who better to ask then the lads on boards?".

    My budget is approx €550-600. At the moment i've been looking at the Trek 7.3FX (Which i have ridden and thought was quite nice) and the Giant FCR 3
    I need the bike for about a 10k commute during the weekdays and also for fitness on the weekends (50-60k rides). I don't want drops as i find flat bars much easier to use in traffic. So as i'm not up to scratch on my bike hardware i need your help in laying out the pros and cons. (Or alternitavely, recommend me a different bike!) I know the FCR 3 weighs in at about 10KG while the 7.3FX is 12KG so i suppose lighter is better. They are about the same price too so that's neither a pro or con for either.

    Thanks for your help!

    (And before i'm attacked left right and centre for not using the search function, i tried! But it wont search for words with only 3 characters so it's difficult to find results :o )
