I think the price is within reason given its condition. That said, vintage bikes and vintage Treks just aren't that expensive in Iowa and the surrounding areas. I bought a 1979 Trek 510--a nicer bike than this with a full Ishiwata tubing set--for $150. I've seen old Treks that would sell in other parts of the country not move here because of the price. Over the last year or so I picked up a 1978 Trek TX 900, a 1979 Trek 510, a 1982 Trek 720, and a 1993 Trek 930. The only one of those bikes that cost me more than the Trek listed on CL was the 1978 Trek TX 900.

This bike is in very good condition and it has a lot of nice parts (racks, fenders, etc.). I'd value the bike at $250ish.
Seriously PM me if you spot anymore in a 56-58 size I'm a Craig's junkie yet somehow didn't spot that, but it's way too small for me. I agree with $250, though I would hope it really is in close to rideable shape.

@crandress, just fyi there are two bike co-ops I know of in both Des Moines and Iowa City that are worth checking out.
