General Cycling Discussion - I need help with a stolen bike!!

Hello everybody, my trek 7.2 FX was stolen today and i dont think im going to be getting it back, so i am preparing to replace it with something else. if everyone could give me a suggestion on a sub 600 dollar hybrid or road bike it would be greatly apreciated. ive found a couple of nice giant ocr-3 (??) on craigslist but any other suggestions are welcome. Or even better yet if youve seen a ruby red trek 7.2 with schwinn saddle and cyclocomputer around apu/citrus in azusa please inform, thankyou

Sorry about the theft of your bike. I hope it turns up or that, if it doesn't, it behaves erratically when whowever stole it tries to ride it. I test-rode both a 2008 Trek 7.2 FX and a 2008 Specialized Sirrus (less than $600 new) and ended up buying the Sirrus because I preferred the geometry. Have you looked for another Trek 7.2?

Sorry about your bike. Man, bike thieves are the lowest of the low. I have a 7.2FX myself (which replaced a stolen bike), although it plays second fiddle these days and almost never gets ridden. If I wasn't on the opposite coast, I would even sell it to you for cheap. ;)

+1 On the Bike thieves the only thing equally as low is a horse thief.

yeah man, five minutes is all it took. Five feet from the open door at 11 AM. I dont really know what i want to replace it with, but in the meantime im riding my previous bike, a univega activia 200. nothin to write home about but i had to change the shifters to the atlus trigger.

over 600 miles on the trek too!! a couple of upgrades... whoever has it doesnt know what they have, to them they prolly just have a dorky lookin bike.

Nope. Horse thief is a little lower - they can be hung. All a bike thief gets is a slap on the wrist because the DA/Judge do not take bike theft as seriously as horse theft.

From the title it sounded you stole the bike and wanted help with it :)

ya it was unlocked. residential neighborhood, cul de sac, just wouldnt of guessed it. lol, every time i see a bike i sub-conciously see if its mine.... but with a college and university within a mile theres alot of bikes!!
