Vintage 86 Trek 760 Pro Series - What's it worth??

Hey everyone,

I have an 86' Trek 760 Pro Series road bike in the blue/white fade that was passed down to me from my dad. Some of the components were upgraded on it and I have listed below what components I know about below. Bike is in very good condition and has been kept up over the years. Bike has not been riden that much and has only had maybe 50 miles on it in the last 15 years.

Bike Info:
Frame & Fork- 86' Trek 760 Pro Series w/ Reynolds 531c steel, size 22.5" (57cm)?? - white/blue fade - Serial# 216704 *I don't know the exact size, but I measured from the middle of bottom bracket to top of seat tube and it measured 22.5" (about 57cm).
Handlbars - Don't know, but they are whatever came on the bike
Stem - Tioga
Brakes - Royal Compe
Wheels - Don't know brand, but they are 700c
Tires - Vittoria Competition
Crankset - Shimano 600
Front/Rear derailleur and Shifters - Suntour Superbe Pro
Seat - Bontrager/Selle San Marco

I am wondering what this bike is worth now? If anyone has anymore info on the bike let me know. Photos below.

Thanks,

It's a very nice bike, but at that time it was competing with bikes with higher spec tubing (753 and SLX) and even Alimunim and the early CF bikes, so even though it sits at or near the top of Trek's model line back then, such bikes were losing it's "luster"/wow factor to buyers.
I would think that bike has a value in most markets of around 600 bucks, max in VGC,.........which frankly is a bargain for an excellent steel framed mid 80's bike, with TOL Suntour Superbe Pro Group on it. A hard core Trek fan would most likely be willing to pay a bit more for it.....

I live in the land of Trek, and these are nice rides. I have a suggestion that might make yours an easier sell.

Looked up the original stem, it's a Specialized S-2 aero. I don't know how much higher that Tioga stem will go, but I'd raise it if possible. The way it's slammed down right now, you'll have to be awfully limber to assume that fairly aggressive riding position with the bars that low. Anyone old enough to remember these Treks (I'm that old) is probably not that limber anymore to enjoy it that way. If the Tioga stem doesn't go much higher, I'd replace it with the original stem if you still have it, or any good quality quill stem from the same era.

It's a good looking bike that functions very, very well. If it fits, why not just ride it?

Cheers,

Understanding the sentiment, even if I bought the 760 it would never leave my collection. Nice bikes and they are getting difficult to find.

Here is a pic of my '86 760 Pro Series wearing the newly restored Mavics and Tufo S33 Pro 21's....

Cheers,
That's part of the problem, the bike is meant for someone between 5'10" and 6'. I'm 5'5" so its a bit too big for me. Yeah there is a bit of sentiment with this bike, but it will just sit in my garage and never be ridden. If there is a Trek enthusiast out there who would actually ride it then thats great.

I think $600 is high esp. for a local sale. That price could work if you live in a large city with an active craigslist. That bike would not easily command that price where I live (a middling sized city in the Midwest) even though Treks move fairly easily. If that's the case, then Ebay may be your best bet (but that's a pain). It would sell quickly on this site as well (but you'll have to join). It won't command top dollar but you should get a good price if you do that.
