Hi riders,

I have a Trek 7.2 FX that has me bent / hunched over the handlebars and is uncomfortable, i would like a more upright position. Do i get an adjustable stem? Would a Dimension adj. stem 100mm work on a Trek bike?

That's strange. In most of the reviews I've read of the bike many praised the 'comfortable upright ' riding position. Is the size correct for your legs/height?
Before getting an adjustable stem you could try moving the saddle forward and rotating the bars back to see if that improves things for you.

An adjustable stem is one method of raising/lowering the handle bars, but not necessarily the first option.

A photo of your current set up would help to advise.
Flipping the stem or moving spacers are usually the first areas to look at.
