Hi guys after a lot of thinking I purchased a second hand 2009 Trek FX 7.1, which should arrive Tuesday. Got it for £180 delivered which I though was a reasonable price. Haven't seen a bad review on the Trek's so hope I made a good choice.

Even if this is the wrong bike for me, atleast it will enable me to make a better decision on what I want in my next bike.

Cheers for all the help!

Same bike as me Morg,bought new last April for £320,great starter bike but you will want something lighter in the near future.
Can't fault the build or set-up though I did flip the stem on mine to get slightly more aero.gears,brakes etc all work well just put some decent tyres on(if on originals) and you'll be fine for 7mile trip,I started off from nothing to 9 mile each way without too many problems.
Have fun
