My CL score of the year (so far) - need some Sante help!
A guy had an '80s Falcon 531 that has a severely bent frame. Shimano Sante group, but I'm not sure how complete the group is.
Front Derailleur
Rear Derailleur
Shift levers (down tube, indexed, 7 speed)
Headset
Crankset
BB
Hubs w/ skewers
Brakeset
Also had:
a Cinelli 1E stem (110mm)
Narrow SR bar
SR Laprade seatpost
Shimano 600 pedals (not exactly sure which generation, but they hav the "tri-color" colored rectangles under the "600" logo). With the 3-bolt clips. Also has some cool Christophe "Falcon" toe straps.
He also had a 1992 Trek 750 MultiTrack in pretty good shape, just old and dirty. Need tires/tubes. So now I got my wife a bike!
$50 for both.
I need to clean up the Sante stuff and sell it. The brake hoods are not-so-white anymore, and there's 20 years worth of grime. But no rust!

Seems like you have the complete group , should fetch a decent sum. The 600 pedals are most likely the 6400's , which as you probably know , will pull about $50 on flea bay. Nice score !

Wow, quite a score for $50!
Sante group comes with a chromed freewheel. Check for that.
The Trek 7xx hybrids were nice riding bikes. Your wife will be very happy.

And yes, I really like the 700 series MultiTracks. I have a 1990 790 that I ride several times a week.

FWIW, I had a 1988 +/- Falcon Sterling. 531C frameset, full Sante. Ended up rebuilding it with Shimano 105, and keeping the Sante bits. Sante pricing comes and goes. A couple of years ago, I was seeing groups bring $400 on fleecebay. Now its about half that amount.
And sometimes I have seen the individual components go cheap, really cheap. Lots of variance.
