Question for Trek Bike riders

[DrBee]

I have the 7200FX (would be the 7.2FX now). I love it! I was my first serious bike and has held up well. I was riding it everyday before I bought my roadbike. It never had any problems! I highly recommend! I'm 5'6" and ride a 54 Pilot 2/1 WSD, but the 7200FX is just the 17.5. They did make WSD at the time, but I don't know that I would've needed it. The bike fits me well. Definitely make sure it fits and test ride both.

I have a 2005 7200 fx step-thru (bought on sale in spring 06). It is my first "real" bike and is serving me quite well. I hadn't ridden in 25 years but I found it very easy to get used to the gears. I ride on a paved trail and have had no problems. I know I will be able to go more miles as I build up stamina. The only thing I had to do was change out the saddle - I am about to try my 3rd one, and I added mini toe clips. I haven't got myself dialed in comfort wise quite to the level I would like, but the adjustments that can be done with the 7200 seem endless - lots to work with.

Thanks for all your replys. I told her about this posting and the positive response. She finally decided to buy the bike. She's a couple of inches taller than me, so she got the unisex model. The WSD bike was red, which she didn't like and it was not as comfortable. We went for a short spin last night and she really likes the ride. We still have to tweak the fit a bit, but overall it fits well.

I've told her she has to start riding with me a couple of times a week cause I'm signing her up for a 30 mile ride early fall. She said, "that's too far to ride." I said, "I ride 25 miles everyday, and it's not that far." She said, "she'll think about it." I said, "there's nothing to think about, you're going!" I love bossing around my older sister! bikerhen
