Hi Monster - Labrat & HLJ are right- Trek have a great range of bikes - hard to choose from so many - I have a 7.1 FX hybrid (pictured in my profile photo) - costs here about UK pds 270. The 4500 here costs UK pds 400, so I guess in US the $ price of the 7.1 FX will be a good deal cheaper than the 4500. I think you could probably get a 7.3FX disc brake version for the same price as the 4500. I like the hybrid because it gives you better on-road performance - and disc brakes are better for off-road as they don't get clogged with mud as easy as rim brakes.
