Trek 620
 

Just snagged this Trek 620 off Craigslist for $240 talked down from $300. It's the 64cm size, either 84 or 85. Almost all original save the Tektro brake calipers. Did I do good or overpay? Also, I'm thinking of ridding the Huret Sachs in favor of a Tiagra derailleur, 8 speed cassete and throwing on some 700c wheels. Will this depreciate its value?

Can't see any pictures, but the price sounds reasonable. I doubt updating it a bit would depreciate it, but are you planning on keeping it? If so, don't worry about it, just enjoy it.

You stole it! The 620 goes for $400+ on ebay. Anything you take off the bike should be kept to be reinstalled should you wish to sell it. The SH Duopar is well regarded by several BF members.

When the time comes I am looking for one. 58-60cm.

WOW such a tease!

Hmmmm. I could ride it. Nitto Technomic stem!!! 22.5 = 57cm. Close.

I can tease too! My 1985 620 is a 56cm or 58cm. I do need to switch out the saddle and bars. I also have the following: 1984 520, 1986 520 Cirrus, 1988 360. Also have a bonded 1996 1220, which I will sell one of these days, needs brifter help.

Just picked up a lugged True Temper 1991 Trek 990 MTB w/o the wheels, dayglo orange/black fade, full Deore XT!

You did pretty good if the bike is in great condition...but you do know that bigger frames usually sell for a bit less than more regular/popular sizes (from 52 to 58cm)....so it's good you got it discounted down from the original $300 price....

Jeez, your orig Matrix rims look a lot better than mine do. Your labels aren't completely illegible! :lol:
