The Trek hybrids are an excellent value. I think the 7500 is a better deal, personally; but I really
liked the red and gold two-tone 7500fx from a couple of years ago. Great looking bike, great value.
The 7700 is pricey; but all bikes are cheap, relatively speaking. Get the one that you like, that
fits you the best, looks great and is fun to ride. That's what will keep you riding, and that's the
most important part. If your friends see your slick new bike, sees how much you love it, and wants
one for themselves, that's all the better. One more bike, one less car, and one more healthy, happy
cyclist keeping fit.
I would advise that an expensive bike may be more likely to get stolen; but a Kryptonite Evolution
U-lock and leash should take care of that problem. Trek paint is very tough; but if you lock it to
poles and such, it will get scratched.
Have fun with your new bike,
Barry
