Hi,

I am looking at getting a new bike for my commute. Currently using an old road bike that is a bit worse for wear and not the best fit.

I'm set on getting a flat-bar road bike. I have done a lot of looking around and riden many bikes, narrowed it down to these two.

Fuji Absolute 2.0 (http://fujibikes.com/2008/bikes.asp?id=465)

Trek 7.3 FX (http://www.trekbikes.com/au/en/bikes/2008/bike_path/fx/73fx/)

Which bike do you think would be better?

Are there any other bikes I should consider?

I'm leaning towards the Fuji for the carbon fork but I have a feeling the Trek frame might have better longevity.

Thanks.

Both bikes are close on the spec's but your right about the trek having a better frame. The "black" aluminum is double butted where the fuji's altair 1 is not. But the fuji comes with a better wheelset. I say it comes down to your budget and which bike rides better. But I would probably lean towards the trek.
