Test drove a Trek FX 3 today. The local bike shop only sells Treks, so I'm limited on what I can test. The bike shop in Champaign, about an hour north of here, has Giant frames, so I could check those out, too. But this FX 3 is in about the same price range and was pretty smooth and easy to ride. The seat sucked, and that's a common complaint with this model, but that can be changed easily enough.
Are Treks more or less the equivalents of Giants? Considering models in the same price range, of course. I would think there's an advantage to having a local bike shop for support and these guys get good reviews for customer service.
