Anyone Own a Trek "7000"?
So I sold the FX 7.3. Nice bike but I want something more upright. I'm guessing this will be heavier and more upright.
Any thoughts or experience with it? Is it the same thing as a FX 7000?

7000 was a aluminum mountain bike in late 80-90's. My 2005 7500fx is a hybrid.

In 06 or 07 FX became a prefix.

The 7000 came out about the time the 7100 switched to having a suspension fork leaving it as the only rigid fork hybrid trek offered, the FX series was a performance hybrid/flat bar road bike. The FX were differentiated by having a sportier geometry, though not by much but at the top end of the range they really were equipped with road parts while you are right, the 7000 series had more upright seating, wider seats, suspension posts, adjustable angle stems, taller rise bars and mixed more mtb parts into the hybrid mix. It will be heavier though not too bad compared to the other 7000 series of hybrids. Negatives to it were that it came 7sp with single wall rims, had to get a 7200 for 8sp cassette and double wall matrix 750 rims. If you remember that its intended purpose is to traverse rail trails and bike paths at a more leisurely pace and be comfortable doing so it won't let you down, if you're looking for a more upright 7.3fx you're really looking for the 7300 though the suspension fork they came with sucked and you had to go to the 7500 to ditch that.
