If it really is the FX 1, I would still counsel against it if you need a commuter. It isn't bad. For the money, you get a decent aluminun frame, but they really cut corners with the fork, which is a high tensile steel fork, rather than, say cro moly or carbon fiber, the shifters and derailleurs, which are 7 speed (by comparison, my mid tier 1997 Bianchi Advantage had 7 speed components, and that was 22 years ago.), and finally, a 7 speed freewheel which is really cheap, entry level garbage. Basically, anything decent has used a freehub going back at least 15 years now.

So if you are looking for a used modern hybrid, go for the FX2 or FX 3, or equivalent from another brand.
