Strengths: Strong frame, quick and reliable.Weaknesses: I recently noticed a creaking sound coming from the crank area when I really apply torque to the pedals which is quite often. I had the assembly overhauled but still notice the creaking sound.Bottom Line: I own a 7100 since new in 2007. For the first three year I rode it a total of perhaps 600 miles. I move to Florida and commute to work about 17 mile round trip/day. I now have just over 4000 miles on it and love it. It is fast and strong. I recently had to replace the chain and freewheel. I am very satisfied with this machine and have not had one breakdown yet. I would recommend this bike.

Strengths: Seems well built frameWeaknesses: Both tires leakBottom Line: I didn't think to check the trueness of the tires. I waited 4 months before starting to bike and found both tires WAY out of balance/alignment(rubbing the brakes in spots. Also both tires constantly leak air. I have to refill every other week. I expected a little more froma 450 dollar bike. Buyer Beware!!!

Strengths: ComfortWeaknesses: Weight. Expensive. $10 extra for a kickstand, which was already installed by the dealer for his convenience to display the bike in the store. The DIAMONDBACK Kalamar Comfort Bike is currently $152.99 at www.bikenashbar.com after including 10% discountBottom Line: My bike is a TREK 7000 regular fork as opposed to the suspension fork on the 7100 model. Mine is a 2008, but this form choices only went up to year 2007. Very nice bike. I ride on paved roads and fairly level ground. I am usually on the middle chainring in front and gears 3 and 4 on the rear sprocket. It shifts smoothly, and is very comfortable. I like this bike for casual riding alongside my wife on her TREK 7200, 2007 model. When I want to ride a bit faster, I use my TREK 460 racing road bike with drop bars and skinny tires.

Strengths: Simple, rugged, alot of dealers and parts.Weaknesses: Looks like a super mountain bike.Bottom Line: 2008 trek 7100.
17.5 inch size.
Bontrager tires need air every ten days to keep them at 80psi.
Accerories are not better than Walmart
top line mountain bike's though the frame is drastically lighter. The shop owner told me the frames are the same on the more expensive bikes and the accesories are what causes the cost to increase.
It does shift well on small hills here in Western Oregon. I suppose I'm being picky. I'm used to buying expensive twenty year old racing bikes and fixing them up for a hobby. The quality "Isn't like it was in dem older days, sonny".
