Wow, a 170 exists! And it's just three hours from me (and closer for you PDX guys and gals). I think $2500, especially as a starting bid, is a bit rich, but we'll see. The cancer diagnosis part really sucks. Interesting that in mentioning various models, it went 760, 770, then 170, which is accurate for other years except 1983 as this 970 owner (me) raises his hand and politely states, "They made another one, too!"
That paint combo is really nice. My 970 has a TSI "60" BB shell of the same design (obviously not a "58" like this one), even cable guides and hardware. Best of luck to that guy.

Just showing up with the sole intent to sell your bike, starting 4 threads and dredging up another (albeit a very nice thread) all with the intent of drumming up interest in your bike that you have for sale... pay up or go away.

Another 170 photo
I don't know much about it or it's rarity until I came to this thread. I did find a copy of the 1984 brochure online a few years ago. I do know it was for a racing team in CA and it had a Chain Reaction Cycles shop sticker on it.

Nope, it's staying on the wall.
Not really. It's been built twice, when I got it, I was young and had no other bike, it was always a mixture of components. Recently I built it with 8 speed Dura-Ace and Campy High Flange Record wheels. It took it apart for two reasons, No space for it complete and I'm afraid of more wear/tear or catastrophic crash.

Whoa dude, total unobtainiumsville. The one Trek that makes my “mint-ish” Trek 760 look obsolete. Oh man, killer bike. Ride on.

The "58" and "60" on those TSI Trek shells refers to the angle between the seat tube and down tube, not frame size (although the "58" shells went on the smaller (
