Strengths: Good Components--should last many years.Weaknesses: Chain chatterBottom Line: I was looking for a new bike to replace a mountain bike, had thought about getting a Gary Fisher Sugar 3--wow those are really nice and $$$. But I do most of my riding around town and am only on trails 2-3 times a year. So I started looking at hybrids. I was looking in October--not really a good time to purchase as there is not much selection. I wanted to try the Fisher Fast City, but there was not one available within 250 miles. I rode the Fisher Utopia and that seemed pretty nice, but when it came time to buy, it was 3 hours away. Thus, I purchased a Trek 7700 fx, very pleased with it.
Overall, I am very pleased with this bicycle. It is smooth to ride, offers a fast pace, and the miles just float by.
Price Paid:
$875.00
Purchased At: Bike America
Bike Setup: No changes to factory model except toe clips replaced the clipless pedals.

Strengths: Trek, what more do you have to say.
Frame-Very solid
Tires-handle gravel better than I expectedWeaknesses: rear gears are very sloppy and hard to adjust. Even the dealer had a hard time adjusting the rear derailer. It is fixed by changing to a road racing, more solid, gears.Bottom Line: This is my first Trek bike. I had to special order it in jan of 2002. I rode it on a trainer for 3 months, Minnesota has winter. It works well on the trainer and for distances of 0-60 miles. Tires worked better than expected. However, I have changed them to Bontrager race lites and x-lite slicks off of my 2002 USPS Trek 5200. It handles them very well, and is less sloppy on gear changes with Ultegra gears in the back. I probably have about 2000 miles on it this year. However, I decided to purchase an actual road bike to race with. I think with some upgrades you could seriously race with the bike.
If you have any thoughts of road racing/triathlon, buy a road bike. I did, but baught this first and then later in the season purchased a carbon fiber 5200.
Favorite Ride: Anywhere outside, the trainer is boring.

Strengths: Inexpensive.
FUN fun fun.
Easy to hot rod and fairly inexpensive to do such.Weaknesses: None. This bike has done all that I could expect.Bottom Line: I purchased this bike to ride to and from work initially. I then started riding this bike for distance and found it to be quite capable of that also.
I replaced the front fork with a Reynolds Ouzo Pro, Bontrager Race Lite wheels, Ritchey stem and Conti GP 3000s, an Italia Trans Am saddle and now we are talkin'.This bike also has a full computer.
This bike gets down the road!
I love this bike around town.It is nimble, quick and comfortable.
I have also put 150 plus mile days on this rig with no complaints.
This bike is supposed to be a training bike and train it does.
Favorite Ride: Hwy 395, Tioga Pass anywhere there are hills!
Price Paid:
$700.00
Purchased At: Chain Reaction in Lo
Similar Products Used: Lotsa other bikes, but not like this one have I had.
Bike Setup: See above.

Strengths: Weight and Mountain Bike handlebars and brakes make it nimble and safe on the heavily populated trails.Weaknesses: Chain broke on my first ride. Dealer replaced it with a better than stock chain for zippo (Shimano). Tiagra Crank Arms on all new FX7700's that I saw were all scratched up. Dealer replaced after ordering one from Trek.Bottom Line: Wanted a bike that is good for the Paved Bike Paths and Crushed gravel or Limestone Paths that criss cross the Cook County IL area, and this bike seems to fit the bill. I've done both and the bike feels very quick and light yet has handled the bumps, cracks, gravel and dirt quite well.
Favorite Ride: Fox Valley Trail
Price Paid:
$699.00

Bike Setup: New chain, Cateye wireless computer.
