Here's my bike. Trek 7.3 FX

here is my new Katai, but 2009 model (better components than 2010). everything stock except the stem was flipped for no rise. 2 new tires are Schwalbe Marathon Cross 700cc x 38, a new seat and different pedals.

I'm curious, is the geometry on the Crossroads the same as the geometry on the Crosstrail?

Mikey

Yep, in 2006 they had two versions of the Crossroads, a comfort bike and the XC like the one pictured. In 2007 it became the Crosstrail.

But they still make the Crossroads in the comfort style.

Shes treating me well so far

nice bike, Mariah!

Maiden Voyage. She rides real nice, much better than before the frame replacement. Better than ever! Better than new! :)http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr147/Rod_Smith/bike/DSC02652.jpg

The frame is new and the chain and rear brake shoes/pads also. Still running the stock fork, headset, handlebar, stem, shifters, brakes, front dr. cranks and BB. Everything else has been replaced. Nothing was replaced because it wasn't good enough for me. I ride stuff 'til it's done. Fixing stuff that ain't broke isn't my style.

how do you like it so far? I am going this weekend to test ride that one and a Giant Rapid 3.

My Trek 7.2 FX

My Trek 7.2 FX

Nice bike, is the seat tube water bottle cage a standard equipment?

The cage didn't come with the bike, but it did have the screws as standard install. I say that because my wife has the same 7.2 but different color, and she only has one cage for the bike, I think it is because of the size of the bike that I have two.

I think it is because of the size of the bike that I have two.

That may be why mine doesn't have one,my FX is size 17.5.Thanks.

A 7.7fx. right Mariah? I think there's a thread around that specific model.

Where do you ride, what kind of riding?

That may be why mine doesn't have one,my FX is size 17.5.Thanks.

One of the things giving me pause re: new fx models is the sizes. Mine is a 19, and that is just at the old, standard advice's limit (i.e. there less than an inch clearance to the groin). BUT the geometry works quite well as I have not developed any back trouble of anything relating to maybe not fitting properly (saddles are a whole 'nother issue). So I seem to be in a hole bwteen 20 and 17.5.

Then again, I could also keep my frame/wheels and get a whole new drive train, shifters, brakes and feel like a new bike with a classic USA made steel frame!

A 7.7fx. right Mariah? I think there's a thread around that specific model.

Where do you ride, what kind of riding?

Yes, its a 7.7 FX.
I'm a complete newbie.
Went for my first few rides in one of the local battlefields. Good roads, little traffic and moderate hills.
Need to raise the bars, the current configuration puts too much stress on my hand (recent surgery).
Otherwise, it rocks totally.

I don't think that's possible with the FX, unless you replace the stem,i replaced mine with a Ritchey adjustable model bcz the bar was too low for me however, that's how the FX was designed.

Yes, it will need a new stem, and possibly new cables.
Hopefully I will be able to go back to the original configuration later.

Finally put the finishing touches on my heavily modified Trek 7.5FX. Additional details at this link (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?643853-My-awesome-but-absurd-lt-20lb-hybrid-flat-bar-road-bike) Cheers, Matt.

How do you post those large pretty pictures? My pictures are always small.

Eddie - I host my own images so there is no size limit and almost no space limit.

There area a lot of free photo hosting sites out there that offer decent service as well..

Your original file are small,that may be the reason, to show your pics, u can upload them to photobucket and copy paste the link in the reply.

Someone or something deleted the pic i posted here just a day ago, i saw some pics posted months ago are still here,,anyone know why?

I looked at the first page of this thread and my bike's pic is still there. what's going on?

I use a photobucket.com and on advance option here, insert picture, copy code from photobucket.com of my picture and then there you go.

Thanks

You need to level your saddle, cowboy!

Curious about the light I see in the pix... I don't have much need for serious output, so went for the low end.. got a 20 buck PlanetBike 3 LED Beamer and was amazed that it was actually better than I thought it would be. Perfect for the few times a month I may do a night ride. If I had occasion to up the pace at night, I'd probably go for their 1 or 2W light. Their website has a really good set of pix showing output of each of their lights.

My hybrid bike:

Jan Janssen, as dutch as can be. Full Shimano Deore group.
Will be looking for a better sadle soon (brooks?). ANd maybe add drop bars but not sure if that makes sense on a hybrid bike.

Nicest drop bar conversion I've seen here.

You stole my drop conversion ;) Nice job man.

I used the Easton EA70 stem and Ergo Bars though. I love the flat bar of the bars for leaning on during path riding.

That used to be a flat bar bike? Nicely done! Are you using the Tektro brake levers with your linears? Don't they work great? I'm converting an old Giant Rainier MTB to drops and will be using them with my discs.

No idea why this is showing up so small but if you click it, it will get larger.

From post #8 in this thread... and this conversion was already a few years old.

Brooks saddle, pretty old but in good condition and a lot more comfortable then my old gel based saddle. Still not as comfortable as my recumbent but that's ok, i don't use my hybrid bike for long rides anymore.

two more shots of my workhorse:

Very nice bike metro.Nice pictures too.

Thank you very much. The bike was inherited from my father so i'm keeping it forever even though i ride my bent more. I still want this bike to be in good condition! and it's still a very nice and fast bike to ride.
