i just got a Trek 3700 at the end of June, it is the 2007 model. Apparently, when I got it I thought it was an older model, like last years..or even 2004.

I use my American Express Membership Rewards points to redeem for my bike, expecting the metalllic blue/silver color model to arrive, only to find a matte ALL black bike in the box. I, being a girl did not want an all black bike. I did some investigating on the box (came via UPS) and found dates such as a hand written March 2005 on some inspection label from China?..(this may have been an error in terms of the year), and also a computer printed label on the box that said April 2006. I then called the store in Connecticutf rom which it actually came from cuz that address was on the label. I told them of the matte black color which is NOT listed as any of the 2006 color choices and I was told it was the 2007 model because they were out of the 2006 model Trek 3700 model bikes already. To verify if this guy said was true,..I called 1-800-Try-Trek and they verified via my serial # that it was indeed a 2007. I found this astonishing since barely half of the 2006 was over and I was already receiving the 2007 models,..So, therefore it is true that perhaps bike companies only make a certain amount of bike styles,..and once sold, they release the next models???

The funny thing is that there are no specs on this 2007 model bike, not even on Trek's website, nor could the store from which it came from have it. The paper work that came with the bike didn't even have it.. just a product registration form and how to assemble the bike. I called 1-800-Try-Trek again and a guy told me the specs for my 2007 model will be up on their web soon, but the difference he said were better brakes and I think,..gears.

Since it was 2007 model, I kept it, but I still would have preferred a different color. They said the 3700 is only available in matte black right now..no other color. Also, Trek's decal looks different..like a washed out rugged look.
