Hi everyone -- I wanted to ask your advice about a Trek 7700FX that I have the opportunity to buy for $550.

One problem is that the guy who is selling it is selling it for a friend. He says he thinks it's a year 2000 model, and very lightly used, but I can't find a 2000 7700FX on the web

The asking price is a huge break from the $1100 new.

Any thoughts?

Also, any thoughts about the bike as a commuter bike?
