Summary:

Hello...

Just bought this 2007 Trek 7200 a few days ago. I also had a Giant M/B and an Iron Horse Warrior Comp. The Trek is the most comfortable bike I have ridden in 20 years. I love it, and will ride it every day until either it wears out, or I do.

I bought it used for $ 200.00, in Like New condition.......

Strengths:
All around good street/hybrid.

Great weight.

Nice shifters, OK fork.

Great bike for exercise.

Weaknesses:
Fork should be adjustable, or have a lock out.

Bike Setup:
pretty much stock

Summary:
great bike for the price. heavy but it's a TANK. can get about 11-12 mph average, so it's slower than a roadbike, but can handle offroad some and won't react like a roadbike. i take it offtrail some and haven't had problems. get it tuned by someone and it's great, otherwise the gears can be frustrating.

Strengths:
tough, can take offroad, steers very well, great value.

Summary:
Great bike...I ride between 200 & 400 miles per month. I'm 70 years old and had a heart attack about 14 months ago. I now bicycle to improve my health. This is an ideal bike for the biking that I do. I use a Garman CS60 GPS for tracking data. My overall riding speed average is about 12 mph, to speed down hill is about 28 mph. Bike is capable of doing everything I need.. Previous bike was a Schwinn, the Schwinn was a good bike but I'll take the Trek 7200 over it.

Weaknesses:
Sometimes miss up shifts between 2nd and 3rd on the peddle sproket, down shifting is OK. Breaks does require adjusting.

Similar Products Used:
Schwinn, this bike was OK, but I like the Trek better.

I just purchased a Trek 7200 and ride every day for excercise. I am impressed with the ride and quality of this bike. I haven't road for a number of years and my last bike was a Schwinn World Sport.
