^^ very good eye! i forgot to mention that - i flipped the stem before i even took it for it's first ride. You can flip it in like 5 minutes. flip it, ride it and see how you like it. if you preferred 'unflipped', revert back.

i am planning on getting thinner tires for it - bike shop says 28s would fit it and would cost ~$100 for 2 bontrager race lights 700x28c tires + tubes. i'll do that after the stock tires are worn out

This is my 3rd trek in just about as many years l0l. i agree that the 7.3 feels lighter than the 7.2. my only dislike is with the huge, cheap looking shifters. looks like they came off of a toys r us bike. but they do shift well though - no complaints about that.

i have maybe 80 miles on the bike right now, plan on taking it back to the LBS to have a tune up - sometimes it shifts/skips gears so i gotta get that fix. aside from that, im a happy camper.
