Do you recognize if the bike I linked is indeed a Trek 400? I wouldn't pay $400 for it either if it didn't have the dynamo hub and light, those are worth about $150 to $200 for me though

Where to buy a prebuilt 27" dynamo hub wheel?

I absolutely love dynamo hubs and want to put them on my vintage bikes that are running 27" wheels, but I can only find prebuilt 700c wheels. Does anyone know of any places selling prebuilt 27s?
