Mine was made about 80 frames after that one, but has a different seat tube decal color (pewter) and pewter-colored head tube. Odd.
1981 Trek 710s are great bikes. I'm a big fan.

I have a '85 Miyata 1000. It is a terrific bike. I am modernizing it as well with brifters, new 130mm wide wheels, 9-speed.
I think it's worth it.

Good luck!
