Trek 730 and Trek 520 frame
I was told that the trek 730 frame is the same that is used in the
trek 520. I doubt that this is true, but have been unable to find the answer. Are these frames the same? |

There was a brief period of time, back in the way-back days, that I believe the 520 and 750 (not 730) shared frames. But that was then, this is now, and there hasn't been a 730 model (or 750) for quite some time. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |

I must have one of those way back whens....my 730 is about 8 years old and I happen to be considering either a touring or road bike, or new components for the 730. Hence, the frame question |

I am just curious.
In the current Trek line-up, what would be the model closest to the 730? The 7300? Probably not, as the 7300 is far cheaper than the 520. |

The 7300? Probably not, as the 7300 is far cheaper than the 520. The closest would be the 7300FX, which is a lighter aluminum frame and no suspension. Very popular bike, and sells for about $400. The 7500FX would be a bit nicer, and runs about $600. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com IMBA, BikesBelong, NBDA member |
