USER REVIEWS

Great Frame, Great Pedal Height, Tires and Rims easy to clean, wheels easy to remove, chain easy to lube, handle bars geometry good.

Hardware not rust proof

I have had my 7200 for about 10 years. It has been a good bicycle for me as I may ride it 3-5 days a week in summer time. It is not as fast as the light weight bikes that cost 10 time more but I like it and would buy another. The transmission is flawless, the tires get good mileage, and the factory seat isn't too bad. Maintenance for the bike is easy, cost for maintenance is reasonable.

Comfortable, durable, shifts very well.

None that I perceive. Especially for the money.

I bought this bike about 5 yrs ago. I was not looking to spend a lot on a bike but also wanted something with quality. Given I am not a bike expert and was looking for a hybrid take to ride around town and on mild trails. I am in my mid 50's so was not going to be doing any extensive, rough, trail riding. I have ridden many, many miles in this time and have been very impressed with how well this bike functions, easily shifting. I could not be more please. Numerous 30+ trips each month. I am surprised that one person described if bought would be a grave mistake. I do not see how that could be possible. Most of these reviews are great. I guess every model of anything has a rare lemon so to speak. This bike has been fantastic for me.

Although the components are not super high end they work great. The geometry is almost perfect. I've never written a more comfortable bicycle. I love the 700 wheels.

The stem ,bars , and saddle our kind of hokey. In my opinion the down tube is a little too short .

I have been riding bicycle since 95. I currently own a specialized allez which does me little good for around town riding, very long distance, and pulling my son in the trailer. So I bought this bike on Craigslist for $40 not expecting much at all other than a disposable bike but I don't really care about. I was absolutely blown away when I got home. I couldn't be more happy with this bike. Is exactly what I've been looking for for one bike that does a little bit of everything. In my opinion anyone that poo poos this bike doesn't know much about bicycling. I intend on converting it to threadless with drop bars. A better saddle and a whole bunch of racks and bags.

None, the frame sucks

To all who are reading this I have had this bike for many years and today I can no longer take it. I have somehow dealt with the bike's problems but I can take it no longer. First of all, thanks to the designer of this bike (who apparently has a mental disability) whenever there is even the least bit of water on the ground, for instance, if it is raining, has just rained, or when perhaps you ride over a small puddle, your entire backside gets covered in mud and soaked in water thanks to the lack of either front OR rear fenders. Secondly the tires have skidded and caused me to either have to abruptly stop or fall while riding multiple times. Thirdly the chain constantly slips when you pedal backwards to adjust your feet or change gears to quickly (which should not happen to a bike of around 400 dollars). In conclusion if you buy this bike you will be making a grave mistake.

Strong and dependable, good compromise between Road and Mountain bike.

It is heavier than a road bike and I get smoked by all the road bikes I encounter (plus they are a lot skinnier than me!) but they can't go in the woods like I can!

Strong and dependable, my bike is 10 years old, replacing a Schwinn Mirada Sport Mountain Bike. I ride for exercise on paved road and have taken my daughter off road on relatively groomed trails with no problems. I have ridden it over large gravel and I had to be very careful because the rocks grab the thinner tires but it handled well. Also handles off road hills well too- depending on your experience with off roading (and I am no trail hopper really but like to get messy every once in a while.) I have changed the seat, but that is more a personal choice. I tune it up every year and have had no issues with it. A nice multi-purpose bike for road or light trail riding.

Great on flat smooth roads. I winter on a barrier island - roads ideal. Got mine from my neighbor's trash three years ago. Rusted - replaced cables, brakes handlebars. Like it better than my newer 7100,

Factory seat terrible on long rides. Shifters need adjusted more than my 7100,

Its great for me -ocasional rider.

Solid bike, quality components, you will not regret buying it, only regret not buying it.

The standard saddle is something that will need to be changed for most people. Bontrager make it but it aint for long journeys with mens bits! Saddles are personal thing to be fair, whats perfect for one person is hell for another!

Hybrids are compromised by nature, they try to be an off roader and a road bike but will never be as good as either. Its not a mountain bike and it aint no racer so a person switching from either to a hybrid is going to feel a bit disappointed initially but will soon grow to love it, believe me! While not suitable for tearing down dirt tracks and never will be, what this hybrid really is, is a tank of a road bike! Trek have taken all the strong build and durability pluses of a mountain bike and the lighter weight, slimmer, large wheeled, and speed of a road bike and created a bullet proof, ultra reliable, comfortable, fast enough for most, road bike that will deal with all the pot holes and knocks of the worst roads out there, or city, while still remaining relatively light and a road bikes ability of eating up the miles without too much effort, a perfect touring, work, training or leisure bike in my opinion. It is also very capable at (within sensible speeds) dealing with muddy or rough foot paths around parks or short cuts between roads, and is that not everything most people want from a bike nowadays?

Trek 3000 series mountain bike, I forget which one, I sold it, great bike too

Great value I bought the 7200 11 years ago and I have ridden literally thousands of miles I live and ride near the beach and the handle bars have oxidized quite a bit (it took many many years) The chain never came off, the handle bars never came loose. The brakes and gears have been adjusted a few times over the years. I do not ride off road much, but I have, and it performed well

Won't ride hands free for very long before you have to grab the bars

Bottom line, the best $350 I ever spent You cannot go wrong with this bike

Great sturdy bike, Smooth on the roads and picks up great speed fairly effortlessly, nice looking too!!

Not so great off road or on the lumps and bumps!!

Had this bike for two weeks now. So happy with it as I mainly use it for commuting around the city and its gets me from A to B quickly and efficiently. However I do like to cycle on forest and gravel paths now and again, for which this bike being a hybrid should be able to handle, however even with suspension being on I find these paths an absolute nightmare and it takes everything out of me, I also find this a problem when im pushing to get up a steep hill and any small bump in the road takes it out of me. Having had mountain bikes prior to this purchase, it is a huge difference as mountain bikes provide cushioning, but add weight and prohibit speed to some extent. Therefore my overall rating is a 3 as this bike in my opinion by experience is more a road bike and in no way is suitable for any form of off roading!

Cheap way to get back into biking, which is fun in and of itself.

Chain frequently falls off I back-pedal. Breaks and shifters need constant tunings early on. Front tire easily comes unbalanced. But by far worst of all, the front handle bar works its way loose FAR too easily. I carry an alan wrench in my pocket so I can tighten it at stop lights, and once it STILL came loose just as I was starting a big down hill. I mean it was basically no good for steering the bike. Had it done this 30 seconds later, I'd have crashed at about 25 miles per hour. I've had this looked at back at the bike shop, but they said all that could really be done would be to weld it permanently. Other than that, it's a great bike!

Got it to commute to work. It tried to kill me.
