the 7000 is a hybrid. and umm your 7000 doesnt sound stock lol. trek 7000 has like crappy parts. and i just checked bikepedia and i dont know why but the current trek 7000 is a hybrid with like 10 dollar parts and nothing like the 97 o.O i think allen55 trek 7000 and your trek 7000 are vastly different bikes despite having the same name.
