My complete Trek 660 is 1984 (at least per the NR RD date). Most original equipment as you describe. MIne had non-original Mavic wheels. My understanding is that the original 660 wheels were Maillard Helicomatic.

That's a beautiful frame and it shocked me it went as high as it did. I love old treks like this but they've been undervalued as many of you know for some time. As a matter of fact back in december I got a complete 83 trek 640 with a full campy nuovo gran sport groupo (minus the hubs which were reocrd not tipo and the front wheel was very nicely radially laced) for nearly half the cost of this frame. I know the frame that sold today was fully reynolds and my 640 just has main tubes, but still! The good thing is maybe these old treks are becoming more respected by cyclists and collectors. The bad news is are days of getting these bikes at a steal might be coming to an end!
