Jeff, IMO the Trek is a fine choice for scavanging. Nothing particularly unique about them. And the frames are nice, so you ought to get a decent price. Out of curiosity, what is the serial # and size? the vintage-trek.com web site has much information about old Treks (go figure) if you're interested in finding out more about your particular bike.
