Excellent choice!
Welcome to the FX Club

Of course, you'll need fenders too.

Love the bike! Post a pic when you get it all decked out...with your rack...

I have been riding (sort of) my Giant mtb that I inherited when some friends got divorced. I hate it.....

It's slow, heavy and uncomfortable compared to my road bike (Scott Contessa

)......People look at me like I'm crazy when I say my bike is comfortable

Anyways, I would love to ride for my daily commute. I'm going to start looking for a commuter. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Congrats!!!! I can't wait to see it all decked out. And just think of how much faster and nimble you'll be on her...

Didn't they show you the secret handshake when you bought it?

Oh BabyBlue, that is a beautiful bike. It's classy and you'll look oh so smart riding her everywhere. You'll be the talk of the town.

Thanks! Hee hee...I'm not so sure I'll be the talk of the town though.

A lot of people on the roads here do not appreciate cyclists or their lovely machines in the slightest. I, however, will feel GREAT doing my part to cut pollution. I'll save $ and get stress-relief/exercise all at the same time. Ya just can't beat that!

What's neat is that I went wanting to look at the new (2009) 7.6 because I thought the white was prettier. (me and my silly color habits - that's how I got my current road bike...I fell in love with the baby blue color - LOL!) This bike is the 2008 7.5.. not a WHOLE lot different..just less some more expensive components and carbon pieces.. Not necessary really. The 7.5 has my beloved baby blue in accent colors! That clinched it. After I thought about it more, the black will not show chain slap like on my other bikes either. ALSO...best part... I am getting a discount since it's last year's model! Win win win!

P.S. Talk about irony....Tuesday, I'll bring my FX home in my FX. I can pretty much tell ya that'll be the only time it'll ride in there. Can't wait to ride this bike! eeeeeee

(old picture of when I brought the original FX home)

I buy my bikes based on color.

My hardtail was a candy red.

**Aggie_Ama** · 08-31-2008, 04:34 PM

Color is very important to me. I have to say the thing that tipped me to the Cannondale road bike I have over the Specialized Ruby was the frame looks. And I couldn't bring myself to buy the Trek FX in my commuter budget because it was burnt orange. No Aggie will ride anything that color with pride.

+1. It seems to be a great line of bikes. I have a lowly 7.2, myself.

**pardes** · 08-31-2008, 09:45 AM

Ahhhhh another Trek. It's a fine thing to be a member of that family.

You know, I never washed or waxed any of the cars in my life; but upon finding a tiny scratch on my bike and I was bereft. I never petted my cars but I pet my bike.

At the moment I'm hot on the trail of the EXACT color red fingernail polish to cover some small dings.
