Strengths:    Confident riding. Fast sprinting. Accelerate fast. Acceptable original components.

Weaknesses:    Poor wheelset and tires (Bontrager Invert Hardcase - very durable, not flats, but not fast). Don´t holds high velocity, requiring a bit cycling power to keep velocity (whe higher than 25 mph)

Bottom Line:

"Fast" bike, even a little heavy. Position is good for biking, even OEM saddle is not bad but not ergonomics.
I spent a fews rides and minutes to find the perfect positon. Fowarding the bars, rotating it, pointing down the saddle nose, inverting the stem... and OK!!! just enjoying a lot now!
Seems good at high speeds, but it feels every pothole available. (upgrade fork and seatpost, solving a little bit the problem). Acceptable OEM equipment. At climbs, the small front gear ring in the crankset(48/28 and 28) is not very usefull, but is always there, if required. The cassete uses 11-34 teeths, which 34 size is good for clibing, but not usefull with 28 front gear... it forces the rear derailleur to engage it. I exchaged for a 9 spd cassete (11-28) and rides happy.

Strengths:    Solid construction, nice handling. In lower gears, hills are very doable.

Weaknesses:    On long rides, my thumbs get tired from downshifting.

Bottom Line:

I bought this bike because I wanted to ride with a club, but wasn't ready for a real road bike. That was over 4500 miles ago; I had my bike outfitted with road tires and later added bar ends and Look clipless pedals. I really love to ride! My bike is comfortable and quick, and pretty light for an aluminum frame (about 26 lbs). If you see one of these used, grab it; it's a great bike.

Strengths:    Lightweight and fast for a hybrid

Weaknesses:    maybe it's me but the seat is thin and hard

Bottom Line:

actually a 2009 FX 7.3. Very lightweight but strong, this bike is faster than any other hybrid I test rode. The seat is a bit uncomfortable and I wish the handlebars were set a little higher so I could carry a little more weight on the seat and sit a little more upright, but it is still pretty comfy. Maybe I'll try installing handlebar ends.

Bottom Line:

I'm 5'1", and although the 7300 is a bit big for me, I LOVE MY BIKE. It's a smooth, stable lightweight ride. I ride to work and back every day, and ride for pleasure on my days off. I use this bike to carry groceries in attached panniers, and the bike is still stable, even with a 10 lb bag of cat litter on one side, and a 10 lb bag of groceries on the other. I would not trade this for anything. LOVE!
