Looking at purchasing a Trek 7.0 FX. Is a 2008 model, appears to be in good condition. Looking at the tyres it appears to have had little use. Seller is asking $250 neg. Is this a reasonable price? Any issues I should look out for? cheers

How does the Aussie $ compare to the US $?

I have a hunch many would think you are in Perth Washington (a state in the US), instead of Western Oz

BTW, that is listed as 2006 only on-

Maybe they did it a bit different down under?

The components are very low-end. You'll find these same parts on some of the bikes at a sporting goods or department store. Not that it isn't a decent bike, but don't let the Trek name oversell it. Google says that Australian dollars are roughly equal to US dollars, and I think that's a bit much for this one.

I would agree. It's not that the price is far off, but I'd be looking for a higher level FX if I were going to buy one. It'll ride much nicer.
