I had a trek 470 fast track that I rode for about 6 months. It was a decent bike, but I wouldn't pay more than $225 for it, maybe $285 or so since it's going to be built with a 105 group and by your...

I had looked at Sheldon's site initially, but since it only listed the 1988 model, I couldn't be sure. I'm pretty sure 27.0 is the correct seat diameter for the 1987 model though.
