Dang that looks cool.

So.... for the first time in 30 or so years, I am without a Trek bike in my possession
I sure hope my daughter has a great trip to France
Still looking for that immaculate 83 Trek 600, 620 or 630 in 21" size, color pewter with light blue panels.... you'd think selling my collection of old bikes for my daughter that one would fall out of the sky! Hahahaha

Yeah, there will always be more bikes to buy.
We have been buying and selling bikes for a while now and I just had to sell some of my stuff to get her there. No real heavy attachment to the bikes.
I'm excited Sarah will have the opportunity to visit France. She is in her third year of French and is going with some friends.
Sarah also bought her first car with bike flipping money. I'm a lucky Dad.

I think if I went to 700c and long reach brakes that I'd be able to get at least a 700x32 on my frame with a set of perfectly fitting fenders. Best bet, in your case, I think, would be do find the canti version of their 600 series 531 frame. Some of the years don't have the excessively long stays with the cant's, but I can't remember what years off the top of my head. The catalogs are good reading, and if you're seriously contemplating it you've probably read them already.
