Overview of components

Fork material.

7300 FX has a steel fork, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.

The 7300 FX 2005 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.

For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek 7300 FX has Rim brakes installed. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.

Trek 7300 V. 7300FX

I'm back! OK, I've literally narrowed my choices down to two models (not counting of course, my dreamy cruiser). The description of the FX on the website says "Great for fitness workouts and training rides," and the normal hybrid "From bike lanes to bike paths and everything in between." I don't know what this means in terms of bike components, quality, and comfort. The FX is slightly cheaper. I don't plan on using it as a "fitness" bike -- just casual riding, however, I'd like to know what the technical differences are between the two and what it means for me. Also, does anyone own either and have oodles of praise for it? Cheers! Ilana

orange_julius said: You can compare the two side-by-side: * The two of them seem to have very similar frames. The 7300FX's frame is probably slightly lighter. * The 7300 has a suspension fork, the 7300FX has a steel fork. * The 7300 has a suspension seatpost, the FX does not. * The 7300 has an adjustable stem, the FX does not. * Component-wise, the 7300FX seems to have better parts. I don't know much about components at this range though. So the 7300FX seems like a better deal if you don't care for a suspension fork and a suspension seatpost. I have no idea how good/bad the forks and seatposts are, but at that price range I think I would go with non-suspension. Click to expand...

DecafPoetess said: Does adjustable stem meaning you can change the height of the handlebars? If so, isn't that kind of an important feature? What if I don't like the initial position they're in on the FX? Also, isn't "steel" a big no-no? Also, if the components of the FX are better, why is it cheaper? These questions come from true confusion -- I haven't tested these bikes yet, I only like them on paper! Click to expand...

orange_julius said: Sure adjustability is a nice feature, but not necessary. With most bikes one can usually move the stem up and down, subject to the amount of space above/below where the stem is set up on the fork. Sounds like you actually want to do some decent riding, so the FX is a better bet. I don't care much for "comfort" bikes with suspension seatpost and fork. The FX is cheaper because the suspension stuff costs a lot more!! Stop thinking and start test riding ;-). Click to expand...

I just helped my roommate buy a 7300FX yesterday, he's not a cyclist, but was looking for a good bike to ride around town and do the occasional workout on. For me, I'd recommend the FX hands down. The suspension fork on the 7300 is not an exciting fork. It adds considerable weight for a minimal increase in comfort. The FX is extremely comfortable thanks to the nice saddle and very well thought-out geometry. The ride is not at all harsh like a true road bike. We have some rough roads in our neighborhood and I was perfectly comfortable when the roads got nasty. After we brought his FX home last night, I rode it around the block. I couldn't believe how fast the bike was! The comfort level was off the charts (I'm used to the road bike) and the bike was extremely efficient. Good luck with your decision, you'll be happy either way. -Danimal  

Steel forks -- The reason they're shunned on a ROAD BIKE (racing machine), is because they're not as stiff as carbon fibre or alum. Also, they're a bit heavier. You're not concerned with either stiff nor heavy, not in terms of a race machine. It's damn fine steel on a damn fine bike. There's not a durability nor a quality issue about steel. The issues are about weight, stiffness, and cost. I posted elsewhere about your bike selections ("I tested bikes today!") comparing the FX to the 7300. I missed some details between the two. Discussion here from those who ride them and sell them shows me that the FX is more a riding bike and the 7300 builds some cushion into the features with the seatpost and suspension fork. You don't need either one. Seatpost and fork suspension will drive up the cost on equipment and so the way to bring the cost back down is to downgrade the components in the drive train. Skip the suspension and go for a nicer set of drive train components. You can always swap out the stem, but chances are it's fine to begin with, and your requirements won't necessitate the subtle differences a stem swap would give you. Now I'm voting for the FX. It has what you need and want, provides better drive train components, and dispenses with a lot of extra baggage and cost that you don't need.

Some input on a 2005 Trek 7300 Fx

• Add to quote

Looking for an older bike to be a commuter/ grocery getter and found a Trek 7300 Fx for $125. Does anyone have any experience with this model? Seems to me that its not too bad of a price. I don't necessarily want something super fancy since I would be running to the store with it and so on. Just want something that will be able to hang a rack on the back.  

I use a mountain bike with just a rear rack for hauling, which I am looking to ditch for a used touring bike with rear rack and fork braze-ons to no avail. Just a rear rack is not enough if you want to be car free, you are limited with how much you can hold. It makes things more difficult. Also hybrids fill an unnecessary niche, but $125 is damn cheap.  

Check out the axiom site as they have front racks for different applications. I bet other manufacturers do as well. I even have a front rack on a suspension fork with disc on a commuter of mine.  

Someone got to the bike before I did so that one is off the table. Ended up getting a Trek 7500 today for $100 and I think it will serve the purpose I need it to. I know one thing, I have gotten way too used to riding the my other bikes with the wider tires. The 700c x 35 take a little to get used to. Next step is to look for the rear rack to start with. Will definitely check out the Axiom site.  

compared to my 2.2s they are. lol. Just never been on 700s before.
