I was at LBS yesterday and noticed my 2005 7200FX is now the 2006 7.2FX. Trek appears to have a product reinvention. My 7200FX has the rapid fire shifters, black crank, black stem and black Bontrager flat aluminum handle bar. The 7000 series for 2006 looks to have silver crank, stem and steel handle bar with twist shifters. Wheels, tires, gear ratios appear same. 7.2FX lists for $10 more at Trek web site. Looks like it's a matter of how you prefer to shift bike. I'm use to rapid fire push levers and like black trim so I'd spend the extra $10. Although I should mention that Trek had a sale during the Tour de France, and I got bike at $50 off last years list. Last year list was $359, this year it is $419. You may wish to wait a couple weeks for a repeat sale.
