I am so excited!! I got the Trek 7.3FX (matte black). He said it could take up to a week to get in (could be 3 days too) and I am dying because it is supposed to get really nice here in MD next weekend (mid-upper 60's). I will be so bummed if it doesn't come until the following week. He can't place the order until Monday morning--now I wish I would have gone to order it Thursday night!
Here's a pic of it (but without disc brakes)-

That's the one I got too! It's beautiful and the color is cool-seems to take on different tones with the changing light. ENJOY! Hope you can get your ride in!

Matt black is a cool color for a bike. A bike ought to be red, celeste or black, and the matte black looks good when a bike is new, and keeps on looking good after the bike gets some wear and tear. A female friend of mine has an old mountain bike with the matte black finish...it still looks great at age ten.

So, your goal for next week: some wear and tear.
