It's a Trek FX1, and I've been pretty much riding every chance I get. I'm already looking toward a road or endurance bike for next season, but I'm going to enjoy my hybrid for the rest of this year

Nice, I have a Trek Verve2 that I ride for an hour daily (roughly 10 mile ride). Recently got my wife a used Trek FX7.2 (for $200 in almost new unridden condition in the classifieds!) because I was curious to buy an FX for myself.

Gotta say that the FX7.2 is certainly a faster bike than my Verve2 - I now have to pedal harder to keep up with her compared to her old walmart-special shwinn bike!

The ride position on the Trek FX is a bit different from the Verve, but I enjoy both. Just picked up another used Trek Verv3 in the classifieds (rough shape, but only paid $140) and working to restore it to riding condition
