Hi, I'd appreciate any advice as to what model Trek this is. Also, if it's possible to determine the size from the picture I'd be grateful---I'm 5'10" and trying to figure out if this bike will fit me (it's 45 minutes away, so if it's a non-starter I'd prefer not to drive out). Finally, any thoughts on what a fair price would be would be wonderful.

I apologize for the link; I was having difficulty with the manage attachments function.
Thanks!

Looks to be a early 80's 412 with a 20inch/53mm frame set nice basic rider but would be two small for a rider 5'10".

Thanks very much! I appreciate the help.

This is a higher end bike than the 412 mentioned above.

I believe it is a 1983 700, based on the color scheme and the fact that I see Reynolds 531 stickers on the frame and fork.

I agree that it is too small for you, but if it's really cheap I would buy it anyway and resell it for a profit.

Thanks for the reply---what price should I be looking at to make it worthwhile to resell? The seller's asking $100 but there is some wiggle room from what he said.

I don't know where you are, but with a little cleanup, I could easily sell that bike in the summer here in NYC for $300+. If you're in an area without a hot market I'm sure it would be less, but even $200 would be doubling your money.

I'd get it as cheap as you can. Show up with cash and offer $60 and see what he says.

I'll give it a try---thanks!
