Trek 614 Frame and Fork 1982 cheep
One of these was just given away on here, but i'm not that generous, and i had to pay something to get it, i recall reading that these are great for tire clearance for conversion to a 650b or some type of big tire bike.
i will prepare and pack for $75.00 plus shipping i will have to put in a few hours to go get a box and pack it properly and take it to a drop off point to ship, Reynolds 531 main tubes, its got some corrosion on the underneath the chain stays and the paint is a little dinged up but not terrible to look at. shipping with a Bike shipper would likely be reasonable in a TV box but will charge actual cost based on the smallest box i can fit it in with the appropriate amount of packing.
i posted pictures in the CV section when i found the rust and sanded the paint off, the Hive seemed to think the frame was fine to use, i have not tried to rust proof or paint over the rust as i want you to see how it looks.
I could just put it in the skip but i'm hoping some has a use for it.

Can’t quite read the serial number in the photo, but that has the exact size, model and date of production info in it. Vintage-trek.com can get you there with catalog scans too.
I haven’t seen many red Treks - very cool - GLWS!

Very interested, in principle, but that top tube seems short for their bikes of that era. 22.5" converts to 57cm and I'd expect something more like 58 or 58.5cm. I hope I'm not being obnoxious -- but you're sure of the measurement?

^^^^ Serial number will determine the seat tube size, and yes, Trek frames of that era should be pretty "square" wrt. the seat tube and top-tube being close to the same length.

Sure enough. Thanks for double-checking.
