Our bike shop has this bike its a 2009 but new for $1,699. Is this a good price?

www.bicycle-classifieds.com has a new one for $1000.00. So that sounds high to me.

Your right . thanks

I wouldn't be that quick to pass this by: is it genuinely 'new' old stock (i.e. not a demo etc), is it in fact a full-carbon 7.9FX, and is your bike shop a Trek dealer? If yes to all, then 1699 is high-ish, but not outrageous, and there might be room to negotiate? The full-carbon FX is now (2012) discontinued, I think (?), so if you love/want the bike and it's the right size, might be worth a closer look?

When it was new it was $2750 according to bikepedia.

It is the right size and I did know they are discontinued. My bike shop is a trek dealer and its been there for a while. I'm looking for a bike for my son and haven't even talked to him about it. I may have him test ride it and go from there.

Yes I think they have a 2450 price tag marked down. Could always wait until after the first of the year see if he goes down a bit.


Thank you all for your replies

If it is indeed new then 1,699.00 is a great price unless you can get someone to give you one for free or you can find a mint condition used one. Fantastic bike.

It is new. I think I'll have him test ride it this weekend. Thanks

Got them down to 1500 ..... For some reason the pedals aren't included . So now I'm going to try 1500 with pedals. Maybe if I can get them to through those in

I wanted a 7.9 fx and it is discontnued so I bought a 2012 fx 7.7 and I am loving this bike like no other I have ever owned...

1,500 is a very good deal on a new 7.9

If it is decent shape, hell yes it's a good price. Mine is two years old, have put 6,200 miles on it including more than a dozen rides of 100 miles of more, and love it. But comfort improved with a Brooks saddle that I purchased beginning of this year. Paid $2400 new and had to wait a couple of weeks to get it. I actually think Trek could have sold more if dealers would stock the bike, or at least keep a demo on the floor. I bought mine from a well established Trek Store, they would not put one in stock because they were afraid of its limited rider appeal. I have really enjoyed the bike, but am moving on to the world of trikes. Waiting on delivery of a 2011 ICE Vortex.

..... so, how much for your 7.9

$1500 is a steal.

Could you please let me know which shop you could get the Trek 7.9 FX from for such a good price. Thanks!

sherilinn got the good price.

Since the 7.9 is no longer in production finding 'new' old stock is going to be difficult now.

Could you please let me know which shop you got this bike from for such a good price. Thanks!
