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!

Nice bike. But I do not see that serial listed on that page. Depending on location, $150-$300

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.

Unless I am missing something, this bike has nothing to do with 7/11 team. It clearly shows only 7 or 8 bikes were made for the team, all were track bikes (yours is not) and they had the serial # 90663 - 90671.

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.

Thanks wrk101. You guys are right. I was reading the serial number upside down. Turns out it's a 068606.

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