My first reaction to seeing this was "Oh shoot!" because it's a double panel Trek bike which means top rank. 1982 and 1983, per my catalog research, didn't ever have this paint scheme. Only a 1982 950 frame came close--it being white with blue panels (a dream Trek of mine). It may be an '81. I can't find tubing decals to see if its 531 or SL, but for a paltry $175 for a $1k+ bike, I'd be willing to find out if I was in the area...and if it was my size.
