Hi Rob!
This one is a 78 730. It was brazed in Nov or Dec (I forgot) so it was built as a 1979 736 with a Shimano Arabesque 600 group.
I've replaced most of the 600 bits with Suntour Cyclone and Superbe and a Stronglight triple crank. This is a really stable bike, despite it being Trek's 1978 "racing" geometry. They basically just shortened the chainstays, but left all the other angles the same as their touring bikes.
I'll have to check out your 710!
