I have a Trek, not the 7300 but a $500 dollar model.
I ride the crap out of it on straight paved roads. And I've had it for 8 years now.
But in the first year I had to repalce the seat. In the second year I had to replace
the right shifter, the hand grips. The replacement right shifter is cracked in the same place.
The front crank has cracks in it.
Other than that it's been a great ride, 1000's of miles.
But I am wondering how those other bikes would compare, The Giant, or a Fisher, etc.
I know you can't tell how a person treats his bike. But lets just say mine
are garage kept.
My weight is 160 lbs.
