look thru the catalogs at https://www.vintage-trek.com/
with that headbadge it's from 1983 or earlier, can't see if it's screwed or glued, but looks glued. Given the VGT RD and the cheap calipers, it's not a top model, but can't be bad either. I have no idea what he means by "Gyro" hubs, that's a new one.

Looks like an overpriced 412 to me.

not that it matters now but "glued and screwed" [early eighties trek with lugged steel frame]? what was glued?
it was great looking bike but I thought a bit over priced

all of the early trek steel bikes were silver-soldered. Nothing's glued and screwed on any Trek...their aluminum and early carbon bikes were glued, but not screwed.
