I have a Raleigh Alyeska and always enjoyed the comfy, stable ride. Never had a problem with the seat stays. Since yours broke once, the second break might be related. Also love the color and accents.

Eddy Merckx Pro 58 cm BIN for $180
I am extremely and sorely tempted by this but really shouldn't be buying any more project frames right now. Somebody buy this and save me!

Good grief, I need to stop checking this thread. Thats twice now I've ended up buying one because of it. I told myself after I sold the last Merckx that if a similar one came up in my size, I'd buy it.

Ahh good, I can stop thinking about it now. Glad it's "in the family".

mine has been spread to 130 and I'd be afraid to put it back... so to have an actual vintage capable one. I might wait a day and see if the problem solves itself.

It's actually a 630 model, not a 930 (SN and paint/decals confirm), but it's still 531 and an early vintage Trek. Bike looks in pretty nice original shape. $300 is hard to go wrong at all.
