Yeah, I just bought another Raleigh Sport. That makes 5 Raleigh Sports. I've lost count of the Raleigh 10 speeds.

Steel Treks are like money in the bank. Barcons and 531 main tubes, super score. XS bikes sell themselves, score #2. Pretty much any road bike for $15 is a score, that makes 3/3.

Love that Trek. It's my size as well (but sure isn't whoever was riding its size). Good score for $80 if its for yourself. Little higher then I like to pay for a flipper. Around here it would fetch little south of $200 pretty quick if cleaned up. Might get a little over $200 if you hold out but not much more.
If I had to guess I'd say a 81 600 series. Stem and levers not original for sure. Couldn't read the hubs but I'm guessing Sunshine. Has it got 27's or 700c"? Little mix of parts but looks like decent stuff except that crummy Canondale seat. LOL You can pin down the exact model here via the Serial number and color combo. https://www.vintage-trek.com/
The Technium looks pretty clean. That one will sell quick on a flip to a first time Triathlon participant. If the tires are good thats a easy $100+ profit on the flip with some clean up and a service.
The $15 Raleigh...rough but you could flip that to a hipster for $50+ without doing a thing but placing a ad.

I could get some serious money for that Trek -(even here in the epicenter of the world recession), but no way would I sell that. The lack of a ST wrap decal denotes an early issue. I agree with Grim that the stem is a replacement.
