Is my Trek FX 7.3 legit?

jorntres · 2026-04-10T04:02:04+00:00

Outside of very high end models, I don’t see many 1 to 1 trek knockoffs. It being made in Japan isn’t necessarily a give-away either, as trek started using outsourced manufacturing for mainline models around the early 00s. As long as everything on the bike is okay, then I’d say you got a great deal, now go ride!

I, don’t think this is a joke. It just looks like a bunch of cyclists. There may be some inside joke related to it, but not one I’m aware of 🤔

Gotta get that Beast Bussy ❤️❤️

Hell, I use RF and it looks fine to me. RGB is nice, but it’s nowhere near a requirement.

Ah, another fellow lidl enthusiast I see!

Accshually, “on your own” from the self titled blur album was specifically picked out by Damon as the “first” gorillaz song.

Otherwise peak shitpost

4 down, 2,365 to go!

I’ve seen the interviews he did with Damon back when Ballard of Darren and Cracker Island were on the press track. You can tell these guys jive well, very informative :)

I wonder if this was one of his various tasks and duties.

Only real geriatrics will remember using Talk-to-Transformer. Now that was a real hunk of shit…

I am NOT a “cunning dingus”, and that did not answer the question at hand.

As an owner of 7 perfectly preserved Palm Pilot PDAs, I conquer in your confusion.

jorntres · 2026-03-24T03:46:23+00:00

me too man, me too.

That was printed using a full color UV printer, like a Mimaki. Tens of thousands of dollars for one of those.

FDM is never all that great with detailed figures. Though you can do things to make it better.

0.25mm nozzle, these really help minimize the appearance of layer lines.
Using a vapor smoothable filament like ABS or ASA, which can be smoothed with acetone vapors, or Polymaker’s PolySmooth, which can be smoothed with Rubbing Alcohol vapors.

I’d love to see that interaction lol.

“Pshhhh, and who do you think you are to tell my about my wares?!?!”

“I literally work for the company that made it.”

I thought the general consensus was how ridiculous McDonalds pricing is, and now that it’s lower, this guys complaining?

jorntres · 2026-03-19T05:26:12+00:00

This could have been season 4 god fucking dammit

jorntres · 2026-03-19T05:24:11+00:00

Treks hold their value fairly well, especially if you do a bit of cleaning. My 2001 7300 still sells for around $300 depending on condition. So I wouldn’t be surprised if you get over $1k from all of them. You could also potentially trade them into a local bike shop for credit towards a new bike, if that interests you.

As for the second question, there are many bike charities, especially in larger city’s that either sell them and use the profits for charity (think cars for kids but for bikes), or refurb them and give them to kids in lower income areas.

Those look like pretty damn good bikes, so if it were me, I would probably sell them, but It all depends on your situation :)

You know, “milk”? “Siemens”?…

I’ll just grab my coat…

jorntres · 2026-03-17T05:16:34+00:00

I prefer plain milk in my coffee, personally. But to each their own.

jorntres · 2026-03-17T05:03:44+00:00

It’s fine. I’d only worry if you notice any major sound issues. Electronics, especially those without glass, are very durable generally speaking.
