That the frame looks big. Hard to tell since the camera is so close but it's either a 24" or 25.5" frame perhaps. If you are the end user then you better be tall. Ad says all original. Unless it's been overhauled, (not likely) it's too many pesos.

So, if it's not your size don't bother, there's no flip potential. Did you have a specific question?

Too much for a bike needing tires, tape , and an overhaul , IMO.

I paid about that after shipping mine that was in rough shape and I knew I overpaid. I didn't get it to flip though, I got it to ride. Even then, still seems a high to me unless you just really need to have it. I would say 175 to 225 wouldn't be bad for a correct size rider though.

Seems a bit high, but if you really want it as a rider I would pay that. Where else will you find a cheaper USA made 531 bike?

Are you sure that's a 710? Something's not right there, I'd email the seller for a serial.

You might be on to something , does look like it may be a 600 series (610,13,14).

Yeah, but the rim's don't match.

Could also be a 400 something from 1980.

Good catch Dan, I didn't look at the ad closely.

This cannot be a 710, because it does not have rack bosses on the seatstays. I had an '81 710 and although this bike looks very similar, it is not a 710. Still, it's a Reynolds 531 Trek so IMO it's worth a look.

Does it have a 531 sticker on it, or is the seller just making that up?
