That is a deal on an Trek 7.3 They go for around $600 here. There worth every penny of $600 in my opinion so $400 is a steal. A good hybrid commuter or for light trail riding. Have never seen a bad review on one. Best bike going for the money. Isn't a $2000 19lb road bike but what a bargain. Weighs around 26 lbs which is still light. With 48/38/28t crank and 11-32, 8 speed cassette it is geared great for hills. Not as fast as a roadie but not slow either. The Shimano EF60 trigger shifters work pretty well. Comes with Deore rear derailleur which is nowhere near top of the line but still very dependable if you don't put it to a heavy off road test or on its side. It comes with 700c x 32 tires which take some of the road shock but are not meant for trail jumpiing. Like a strong wider road tire. I don't see the 7.5 being worth what they want for them. Have heard that the 7.3 actually rides as smooth or smoother that the 7.5. I would go for the Trek 7.3 FX.
