I've been looking for a size on the handlebars but can't locate it.
Thanks for any help!!
If the vids online don't get things sorted out for you, then we will need some basic info... your height, your inseam, and the Size of your trek's frame... not the seat tube length from the crank center to the top of the tube, but the Actual Frame size Designation... the FX has a slanted top tube type frame, making the old "seat tube measurement" irrelevant.
