I have no idea what these are specifically or worth. I figure someone here does though.

Trek fx7.1 are about $450 and bottom of the line. Those look to be lexa's or 1.1, but all of their road bikes that I know of with down bars start about $750. If I lived there id have done bought them

Those seem to be 2010 trek 1.1s and except for a seat and possibly the color of the bars they look to be stock. Though there does seem to be some visual differences.

That's a good price for the bikes...specially if he is selling both for $500. I call BS on the amount of money "invested".

2009 Trek 1.2

http://www.BikePedia.com/Images/image2.aspx?w=500&h=500&filename=TK_2009_1.2_carerra_blue.jpg&f=Photos

Unlike the 1.1, it has a carbon fork. Also has 9sp Sora vs 8sp 2300. MSRP was $879, over $200 more than the 2010 1.1. Price might be a bit high per each, though, if that's the case.

I was assuming 500 for both but you're right, he doesn't exactly say.
