Selling my EX7. The bike is stock right now. The specs are here:

http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/2008/archive/fuelex7

The frame is 18.5". I'm 6' 1" and it was a tad too small for me. Probably good for someone 5'8" - 5'11". The bike has about 350 miles on it. It's in very good condition with usual wear, some scratches, worn paint from cable rubs/bike rack. No dents or major dings in the frame. MSRP was $2,089 and I'm asking $1,000 and can meet somewhere in Western CT. I'll ship it if need be, but would prefer a local buyer. Anyone here is welcome to take a spin on it at Nassahegan sometime.

I would recommend swapping out the tires to something more aggressive and adding some lock-on grips since the stock ones spin a bit. I also do my own tinkering so I would recommend bringing it to an LBS so an actual bike mech can go over it and tune it professionally. It rides fine to me though. Drivetrain, brakes, etc. have normal wear after 350 miles. Here are pics:

(There's a big chain ring on it now...) ;)

I ride with Greg all the time, and this bike is in great shape! Greg has also been very gentle with it, no big drops or jumps,

Nice ride Greg, Both the one you're selling and the one you replaced it with.
Sweeeet!

I just got a WSD Fuel EX8 a few weeks ago and am having a blast on it.

Will you be willing to sign the bike Greg? That could make it a collector's item...

I'd be interested, but I'd also be getting killed if I brought home any new gear right now.

I've been thinking about getting a ski-tote though :roll:

So I posted this on Craiglist and it didn't take long to get this Email (after an initial seemingly legit inquiry):

Thanks for the swift reply.I am okay with the condition and price of
the item and am ready for its purchase.I'll be paying you with a
certified Bank Check and the payment will be issue out to you Via Ups
Courier service I'll be responsible for the pick-up,while you hold on
my behalf. Once you receive this, my mover's will come for the pick up
at your place.I will be needing the following information to issue out
the payment......

1.Your full name
2.Your mailing address(Physical)....Not P.O.box
3.Your phone number

Please note that the payment will be overnight to your address and
it will be delivered within 3 days.I will also wait for the check to
clear before i have my mover come for the pick up

Awaiting Your Mail.

Didn't want to try the bike and was having his "movers" to pick it up? :blink: Never mentioned "bike" in the Email, just the "item". Not sure what kind of scam he had planned, but nice try dude. A quick search on Google pulls up that exact text. Loser.

I sent his all my personal information already - addresses, account numbers, SSN, passwords, etc. :razz:

Scary - I wonder what the success rate on these scams is...

The bike is sold. As expected, the first guy to see it bought it. A New Hartford local too, home of the beloved Ski Sundown! :)
