    I pick up my new Trek 7.3 FX WSD bike this weekend. My first bike!! I am so excited. I am disapointed that it is boring grey- i'll need to girl it up a bit- but other than the paint job the 7.3 fit my price point and needs perfectly. I cant wait to get it!

    Congratulations! The 7.3FX is a great bike. I think red goes great with gray, How about a red saddlebag?

    Congrats! and many happy miles!

    I think the best way to "girl up" a bike is to have a smiling, happy woman riding it! But just about everything goes with grey...

    I was looking at a few other bikes which came in such fun colors before settling on the FX that the grey seemed dull in comparison. However, I wear a lot of grey, so it is actually one of my favorite colors. It will be fun picking out bright items to go with the bike. (An excuse to shop? Horrid! Ha ha!)

    Thank for all the well wishes!!!

    Enjoy your new bike! Agree, the best way to girlie up a bike is a big smile
