Trek 7.9FX

Serty

All I want to do is spend my cash and buy a 7.9FX. That's all, nothing difficult in that except that Trek don't seem to have any. I ordered it some months ago and the latest deadline has passed and now they are saying June!!!!!!!!!! What is going on?

Can anybody give me any suggestions as to an alternative? Does anybody on here ride an FX? The shop has offered me a 7.7FX. Is the extra cash worth spending to buy the carbon frame?

Have you tried other shops ? , my LBS is advertising as having them .

Lots of places are advertising them but they can't get hold of the size that I want. There appears to be only one 20 inch model in the UK. Very frustrating, oh I forgot to mention that I have negotiated a discount with my Bike shop that is one reason I am sticking with them. I have already bought a mountain bike from them. Do you ride an FX?

Yep, only the cheap 7.3 version.

Rear wheel bearings are making 'ping' noises and the brakes aren't great but otherwise I'm happy, it's fast and comfy.

I ride the 7.5 WSD version and very nice it is too. Depending on how far away from Devon you are contact The Bike Shed, they have regular supplies is Trek bikes and seem to be able to get hold of anything
