I have a 2003 Trek 7700FX which I bought new in 2003. I wanted to haggle with my LBS, but since there were none in stock, I paid full price. I am extremely happy with the bike - I have about 800 miles on it now and am using it to commute (Just started commuting). I picked up some Performance Forte paired spoke wheels on closeout to replace the Bontragers if they start to go (I am a250Lb rider). As a finance guy, I also look at amortization on bikes and when I was paying for it, I decided that $1049 over 10 years was pretty cheap to have a good high end hybrid bike to supplant my old Cilo road bike and give me more riding options.

Have a great day!
