It came with Shimano rapid fire shifters with integrated brake handles and now has twist grip shifters and separate brake handles. The size also does not match any of the sizes listed by Trek. Sizes: 15, 16.5 18, 20, 22" If the owner changed out major components I would wonder how many miles are on the bike. MSRP brand new was $499 so $220 for a 26 year old bike seems a stretch. Bicycle Blue book lists the price for one in good condition at less than $100. You can take BBB prices with a grain of salt but that looks like a big difference.
The Trek 930 has SRAM 9.0 (shifters are 5.0), 9.0 is mid/high level SRAM components. It is higher up than the stock Shimano Atlus, plus it is has v-brakes which are easier to adjust over cantis. The front derailleur is still the stock Atlus and the crank is Shimano STX which is also higher than Atlus.
The frame is 20" and I believe it's a 1993. At 6'1" he is between 20"-22" frame size.
Edit: I can't tell if the hubs/wheels are original. The hubs look like Shimano Exage from that era.
