^ Bent tube Haro, nice hybrid. How many miles on it? What's the fork on it, can't tell the brand. Do you have a rack on it?

I have maybe 300 miles total on it. Couldn't ride for a long time, but I;m back at it now. That's the stock forks, and no, no rack. Other than the tires and seat, it's still stock.

Here is my baby. A 2011 Specialized Crosstrail Sport Disc in her element. We had a great ride on Monday.
This is my first try at adding pictures I hope it works.
I haven't made many changes to her, just pedals, grips and a rack. This is also my first bike with any suspension, I have to say it often feels like my front tire is flat but it does smooth out the bumps on Tucson's "well maintained" roads.

I love the look of that seat and combined with the height of the handlebars, I'd imagine that is a very comfortable bike to ride.

i've been riding the 7.4 a ton lately and may switch over to my wife's 7.3 because it has skinnier tires

My 2002 Giant Sedona LX... was the top of the Sedona line back in the day, with a Deore RD and RockShox Judy TT's. They stopped making the LX a few years after, I think this model to this day is significantly better than the DX's now available, and has performed flawlessly over the past 14 years for me, with only minor maintenance required in over 7500km!
Addons include Ergon GP2's, a Delta Smartphone Caddy II, an Axiom alloy rear rack, metal caged alloy pedals with resin clips, and a couple of no-name alloy bottle holders. Tires are Kenda 892's (semi-slick hybrid tires at 26x1.95), they are very flat resistant and trail capable, but also fairly efficient rollers on the street.
I was looking for a cheap cottage bike to ride out at the lake over the summer months, but ultimately decided to take the Sedona out to the lake where I do more combined gravel road, trail (actual forest off-road on ATV trails) and highway riding, and replace it in the city with a new 2017 Giant Roam 0 which I ordered last week and am waiting on delivery.
I typically ride about 30-35km at a time (mixed road and urban gravel and dirt paths), consistently averaging about 21km/hr (13mph). I'm looking to expand my treks to closer to 50kms at a time starting this week. I find this to be a very comfortable bike for that kind of riding. I'm guessing the Roam should be just a little more efficient as it's a few pounds lighter, and has slightly narrower tires with higher pressure.
Can't say enough good things about the quality of Giant bikes IMO.
Cheers,
TRJB

Maybe I am influenced by the write up you did of your Sedona, but it does look pretty good for a Sedona of that vintage.
I would definitely be interested on hearing how well your Roam compares to your Sedona.
