Would Like to Show . . . and know . . .
I just picked up a Trek 720 of unknown vintage to replace my old 7000, which was replaced (but put back into action by my now-stolen 930 singletrack). I'm having trouble ID'g the year for this. I looked at the catalog site and the "color / year" listings, but cannot find the match of color, model, and components. The color list suggests that it's a 92 or 94, but the components from those years in the catalog don't seem to match up.
I'm brand new here so, cannot post photos or links yet, so I'll describe as best I can until after the 10th post.
I don't THINK that the main components have been modded that much. There is a guy in my town who also rides his bike to the train station who has nearly the identical rig (his adjustable stem is slightly different). I've not had a chance to ask him if he knows anything about his ride.
23" / 58cm
Black (or dark, dark, gray) with red and gold decals.
Weinmann 519 700c rims
3 x 8 drivetrain (did not count teeth but can if anyone thinks that's determinative)
Shimano SIS Rear Dearailleur
Shimano SIS Crank
SRAM twist shifters
Spring-loaded seatpost.
Adjustable stem.
V-brakes - unmarked except for an "MV33" (maybe Promax from Google searches?)
"Chromoly Main Frame"
I've searched pretty extensively for photos that appear similar but have come up a bust.
