I'm trying to decide between a Trek 7.3 FX versus a Giant FCR3, but I don't know how to evaluate the components; the bikes cost about the same:
Giant - Butted aluminum frame with chromoly fork with the Giant Compact Road Design; front derailleur Shimano R443, rear Shimano Altus; alloy crank 30/42/52T; cassette SRAM PG-830 11-28RT; tires Kenda Kwest 700x28 with alloy double wall rims.
Trek - Hydroformed aluminum wiht alloy taper guage forks; front derailleur Shimano C102, rear Shimano Deore; crank Shimano M341 48/38/28; cassette Shimano HG40 11-30 8 speed; tires Bontrager Race Lite hardcase 700x32 with Bontrager Camino rims.
What's the better bike?
Thanks!

Thanks!Take each one out for as long as a ride as the LBS will let you. Do the type of riding you will do. After doing this the better bike will be the one that.... fits you better?
