1983 Trek 620 (7-11 race team)
I picked up this bike while in school and rode it for about 6 months and stopped because I had knee surgery (unrelated). It's been in storage for 5 years and now I'm hoping to get a smaller frame so I can get back into biking.
From what I found out from this site and vintage-trek.com is that it's a 63.5cm 1983 Trek 620. It comes with rear rack, bottle holder, cannondale sidebag, and some old peugeot sport computer.
Edit: Read the serial upside down and it's really 068606. Not 7-11
I'd say the condition is good to great. Small nicks here and there which turned into tiny rust spots.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks for reading!

I also checked the serial number and it shows 909890 which apparently makes it a bike made for the 7-11 racing team? https://www.vintage-trek.com/SerialNos83.htm

Thanks for the info. I'm located in the bay area in CA.
I just assumed it was in the 7-11 bracket due to the serial number range. Unless it's number specific.

What you do have is a desirable Trek 620. In ready to ride, pristine condition, and some good marketing, it would bring about $350, in my area. Given you are in an insane bike market, I would adjust it higher.
Size is a major negative (limited market), or it would be worth more.
Double check that serial number, as you have it garbled some. 909,000 was not until 1992. Bike is clearly not a 1992 model.

You overlooked the 170s made for 7-11. But as you said, too many digits.
