I finally decided on a trek 7200 for my new bike. My last decision was to choose between a 2000 year model for $259 or a 2004 for $349. I walked in the store and asked to try the older model. The salesman took the bike and checked it over. I took it for a ride, but the shifting was clunky and it skipped gears, so I brought it back in and asked to try the new model. The store owner put it on the stand and set it up. I went for a ride in the parking lot, and the chain slipped off the small chain ring. I walked it back into the store, and the owner in a nasty tone said "What did you do to it! " He then decided I needed a lesson. He told me I didn't need to use low gears on a flat surface. Needless to say I walked out of the shop with my money. On the way home I stopped at a different shop, and purchased my bike . The salesman was a mechanic, and took
a half hour to set up my new bike, I am very happy. I want to thank all of you for the help in the forums, especially Miamijim for his help on getting a fair price. I got a 10% discount on the 2004 model, and feel good about that. Thanks again for answering all my questions!
