There was a guy here who worked at a store at the time- he recalled that his shop sold 10 Specialized Expeditions to 1 Trek 720.
There is also a discrepancy about the amount of braze ons on the fork ends and dropouts. I thought all 84s had dual eyelets. Then I saw some with dual and some with single- and then I've seen dual eyelets on bikes with 85 decal schemes... who knows.
