It' s a hybrid. A lower-end model for Trek about 20 years ago. Sold for about $330 new. Is a solid hybrid, but has a very sluggish feel on the road. Look at the crank set. It has a 38/32/24 triple. Think "slow" on flat terrain, but OK for going up hills. Get a real road bike. You will see the difference. That type of money can get you a decent older touring bike. The used bike market is pretty soft now, so you can do better as a buyer. The bar end shifters, however, usually are pricey when you see them on e-bay.

Price is really high for a lower end hybrid, with very basic low end components.

+10 Mid level road bike price for a low end hybrid. If you want a hybrid, keep looking, get one with better components for sure, for less money.

probably asking that much due to time & money put into the drop bar conversion. put wide tires on it & ride it fast on hard packed, unpaved rail trails!

I have a different year but similar 720 as my dad bike and I like it. The going rate by me is $125-150 for one in good condition. This one looks like it is in really good condition. I'm assuming this seller is charging a premium for the drop and bar end conversion, which is fine.

The question for you is what do you want to do with this? If you want a cheap hybrid, probably find another one without the added parts for cheaper. If you want a steel road bike, you can probably find one with better road components/geometry for the same price. I think @rumrunn6 is probably right and the best application for this is as a gravel/cyclo bike.

I bought one brand new from a Daytona Beach bicycle store when I lived there in the early 90's. Use to ride it up and down the beach. All the way from Flagler Beach to Ponce Inlet and back. Several times a week. Then, took it to my house at Fernandina Beach around 2008 & continued using it as a beach bike. Would hose it off with fresh water and let it dry out in the garage. It finally got so creaky and full of sand I tore it completely down and replaced grease, bearings, chain, rear cog, cables & shifters. (Converted it from shift grip to thumbies). So, it's about a 25 year old bike now and, still in great shape. Easy to repair and upgrade. Not used much now. Should probably sell it.

I think that's likely mid '90s...maybe 1993 at the earliest (tig welding vs. lugs). The MultiTracks are good and versatile bikes, but the 720 was always sort of at the pivot point between high tensile steel and chrome-moly frame tubing. A 700 is usually almost always high tensile, a 750 is usually almost always full chrome-moly, and the 720s and 730s are in between, and it seemed to move around depending on the model year. With the tig welds and that frame size decal (and head badge decal), I think it's mid-to-late '90s.

It looks extremely clean and, drop bar conversion aside, would absolutely be listed at this price or higher in the DC market. The conversion looks very clean and the bike looks unmodified otherwise. I think it would sell for that in this market, but it may or may not in your particular market. My '97 750 is a very nimble and responsive bike; the ride is great and it's legitimately fun to ride. I don't know how this 720 would compare, but if you're looking for a clean MultiTrack, they rarely come this clean. By the picture, it looks like it doesn't have a mark on it.

Yes -- this frame and fork will fit 40-45mm tires pretty easily!

In case anyone cares here's a clean 750 on my local CL:
