Hi Hiker ,

I'm sorry this happened . It looks like an honest mistake on John's part. Apparently the 2010 is a carryover from 2009, in that it is an identical bike, unchanged from the previous year. Pretty rare, but occasionally Trek will do that.


Even the bikes listed on Trek's dealer website as 2010's have an SKU ending in 9, which indicates a 2009 model...

See below..

SKU: 1327010229 UPC: 745889619607 Year: 2010 Model: 7.3 FX Color: Metallic Black Size: 20 in Show all: 7.3 FX



At any rate, please understand that John would not have deliberately misled you. Just let me know what I can do to rectify the situation.

If you feel more comfortable knowing you have a 2010 model, even if it is the same bike, I can order one for you..

I'm at the shop until 5 today, if you want to give me a call...

Best,
