I ride a 2000 Trek 7600. It's a nice bike. Trek still makes the 7500 and 7700 but has since dropped the 7600. Mine would probably sell between $900-$1000 new. I got it used last fall for $300, with about 800 miles of use on it. It's from their standard hybrid line and is quite similar to your Cypress SX. It's a bit heavy as it has a suspension fork and seat post. Yesterday with full water bottle, cable lock, mini-binoculars, and two small bags on it, I bet it weighed in the 38-40 pound range.
That's what makes the Titanium rails of my Terry saddle ironically funny. Those Ti rails are saving me what 2-3 oz from standard rails? That makes absolutely no difference when your loaded bike approaches 40 pounds.
