Hi all. Just looked at/rode the Trek. I read the serial numbers and came and checked the vintage-trek site, and it looks like it was an '85 Trek 460. There was '400' on the chainstay cover, but the derailer cable was routed through the chainstay (nice touch)--as the vintage-trek site indicates was done to 460s. The paint had a little swishy cursive '400 series' on the top tube. Veeeery nice ride, though not as light as I had thought it would be. I think a wheel upgrade would improve that situation. It had Shimano components, though--no Campy. I offered him $140, but he wasn't biting.

Serial #, by the way, was 168409.

Kind of regretting not buying the thing, because it just rode so nicely.

Someone tell me I didn't make a mistake. Someone...?
