I'm not very familiar with all of trek's models I must admit.
My Trek is a 7500 which is an aluminium frame with a steel fork while the 750 is rigid steel.
My 7500 while it was wearing drop bars and was fitted out for touring and cross country riding... could hang with some pretty fast riders when it was set up like this.
On another note, I weighed my Moulden XC bike the other night and with a rear rack, fenders, and a tail bag with minimal tools and a flat kit it weighs 24.5 pounds... if I stripped away the rack and fenders it would probably hit the curb at around 22 pounds.
The tyres weigh 750 grams each so with lighter tyres I could probably shed at least another pound.
It has no ultralight parts except the carbon crank and the frame and fork are Reynolds 853 which is typically used on steel road bikes because of it's extremely high strength to weight ratio.
