I'm on a limited budget and I need your advice? Which bike should I get? the LBS has on sale the Fuji for $360 while a farther LBS has the trek 7000 for $350...so that's ~$100 off MSRP vs. $10 off MSRP. The thing is I felt just a tad better on the 7000, plus the LBS selling the trek provides 1 year free service vs the Fuji carrier with 1 month service. So should I go for the better customer service or the guaranteed higher quality bike? Thank you very much in advance!

Just because the Fuji has a higher MSRP does not mean it's a better bike. Go with the one that feels better. There's a reason for that.
And a one-month service plan is pretty useless any way you cook it.

While I could look up the information on the two bikes, why don't you tell 'us' what the specs are for the two bikes?
Are the frames both alloy, or is one steel?
Are the components comparable?
Are the wheel sizes the same?
Et cetera.

One month service on the fuji. I bought two new ones and I have a year total service. Are you sure?

I always considered that first adjustment after two weeks of riding a given. The bike shouldn't need service until you've been riding it for at least a year.
