Ride & handling: super comfort but strange bar
The Trek 7.9FX is a luxury grand tourer among flat bar road bikes. I just can’t stress enough how comfortable this bike is. You could commute on it, but you’re really doing it a disservice by riding it for less than 20 miles; the real quality of this bike is its mile-eating capabilities.

The surprisingly short top-tube and wide bars don’t feel like they’re set up for big ride comfort, but the compliant frame and fork (and bars) and the excellent wheels will have you wondering where the ride went.
