Review - TREK 7.9 FX 2011 Carbon Hybrid Bicycle

bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online

1. obviously this bike is obsolete in 2016. I don't hear anything about it nowadays
2. I wanted a 7.9fx, but they were sold out at the time I was looking, so I went with the Specialized Sirrus Pro,
3.  I've bought one of the last produced bike with Ultegra instead 105 !!!
   This bike is simply fantastic .... 
   Don't listen any other comment this bike simply worth every penny!
4. im sure that bike is fun but its made for pussies who are too gay to ride a road bike. if you spent that amount on a road bike youd get way better components and much better performance. dont be a homo just get a road bike
5. Seriously I dont think that the shifters on a hybrid is a deal maker. Any bike over the $650 price range is going to be a performer. The derailleurs on my Giant are pretty close to the Deore (rapid shifters) which is enough for anyone for this type of riding. I ride mainly on paved rail trails so shifting does not justify that much of an added expense. I would never purchase better shifters as an upgrade on a fitness/hybrid bike. I am not a racer, and judging from your bike- neither are you.
6. Wow I just purchased a 2014 Giant Escape RX Composite full carbon hybrid bike for $1,530 out the door.
7. you should try half toe clips on your bike. i also have a bike like that and half toe clips give you great additional power & control while still being safe to clip out in busy traffic.
8. Great bike
9. I can get a one-speed carbon fibre frame bicycle for $750 US. Probably for $250 US I could upgrade the handlebars and seatpost to carbon fibre. And for $200 US more I could convert it to a two speed maintaining the perfect chainline. 
10. And "fitness bikes" are more comfort oriented with ergonomic grips, seat etc. and more easily reachable brake and shift levers.
11. Interesting. I looked up the web site and it's hard to tell what it is. If they're an online trade co., how do they customize bikes for people? They must have some sort of production and build facility as well.
12. Giant is the world's largest bicycle manufacturer. Giant makes frames for MANY other bicycle companies (including Trek) and it is likely their factories in Taiwan and China that you are thinking of. Giant, almost certainly, makes the frames for Alibaba Corporation which is an assembler and distributor. Although Trek's steel and aluminum frames are made by Giant in Taiwan, all their carbon frames are made in their own factory in the southern U.S.
13. I wish the manufacturers still put triple-ring cranksets on these bikes as there was on this one. I've done a lot of looking and none of the big manufacturers still uses a triple crank on their carbon flat bar road bikes. Other bikes in this class are the Cannondale Quick Carbon 1 and 2 as well as the Giant Rapid Composite or Advanced which Giant has dropped for 2013. Just for the record, the "A" in Shimano is pronounced like a short "O". At least that's the only way I've heard it pronounced. 
14. Mate, you sound like a male version of apple's Siri !
15. i too would probably get a this instead of a road bike, i like the upright position, more comfortable.
16. with this price, just get a road bike
17. I've noticed that too and I think it applies to all manufacturers, I remember that ten years ago you got twice the bike you get now component wise. 
18. well, these are the laws of economics: Less input, more output! Have you are tried the Sirrus-line from Specialized or Quick from Cannondale?
19. The Honeybadger doesn't give a shit.
20. Fantastic review! I am absolutely in love with Trek's FX lineup and will be purchasing one in the near future. I'm thinking about the 7.5 (non disc). Would you recommend these bikes for snappy downtown city commuting? Right now, I'm riding a Trek 5000 carbon road bike, so comfort isn't much of a requirement.
