I was going to look at this over Memorial weekend but didnt end up going, particularly because of the 27" wheels. It obviously hasnt sold yet but what does everyone think?

The asking price is not bad, but some of the components are not original. If you're not into having an original bike and thats your frame size, offer $150 but be prepared to go up fast. I sold the same vintage 410 a year ago for $150 and it went instantly with several takers, meaning I didn't price it right.
Steel Treks Sell Fast.

Trek's frequently go for more then $200 on ebay, and it doesn't seem to matter much the model number. A 25" one
isn't going to come up often. If that is your size, I wouldn't hesitate. You can get them cheaper, but it might involve
a lot of waiting and some luck. Note that 25" Trek's don't come up that often (it is relative - I would guess you will
see 10 23" for every 1 25"), but there isn't always that much
demand for them so that can come into play.

If it fits, I'd probably go get it, negotiate if you can when you get there.
Getting it to modernity would cost a bit, but 700c and modern shifting isn't out of the realm.
Fit. Fit. Fit.
Then frame.
Then components.

I think I am going to pass on it. I just dont like the fact that its not all original. I'll patiently await my vintage Trek beauty to fall into my lap :). Thanks for the great feedback gents and ladies (if any responded).
