The chain, Handlebars, and spokes are rusty, the seat is torn, and it will need some cleaning, but it is in good shape.,,,,BD
The price is decent, I will give him credit for that.

Maybe because he calls it his beloved single speed, yet hardly rode it. I guess it was a Seinfeldish prop so he would look cooler than his neighbors.,,,,BD

Yep - I've been lusting after a Suntour Cycline/Sugino RT drivetrain for years 
Are you sure he's not throwing in a free Nuovo Record group at that price?

Okay, before you click the link, I want you to think what kind of condition this all-chrome 1961 Rudge Sports would have to be in, for the seller to "entertain offers starting at $500."
Okay? Sure you're ready? Here you go!

Poor, Poor trek...
https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/bik/1049568214.html
For sale is a bike that I built for my girlfriend that I recently replaced.
The frame is a fully lugged reynolds steel mountain bike frame -it is strikingly similar to the Bridgestone MB-1. 53 cm top-tube and 52 cm seat-tube. I built it up as a commuter, nice cruiser handlebars, new grips.
cantilever brakes
brand new 26" road tires
Deore XT wheelset (7/8 speed)
Deore crankset - single chainring in the front
suntour XCE rear derailer
suntour microfriction thubies shifter
Like I said this is a great bike that is taking up space in my garage - let me know if you are interested.

You are mistaken, it's definitely a MTB. Probably a first year 850. The only real problem with it is the goofy handlebars.
Even if it were a 520, I wonder what you think would be a more appropriate parts selection considering that touring components are almost universally identical to mountain bike components.

.Well, any amount of pulling the rear stays apart to fit a ten speed hub could possibly flex the bonded joint between
the top/seat tubes and the cluster. I have one just like it but in lavender. It's a pretty nice bike and has a soft ride.,,,,BD
I may be stuck when the FD finally wears out. It's a weird size and not part of any set Suntour group. Suntour LePree I believe?

As for stretching stays, theoretically, its only 4mm, from 126 to 130. I just figured the brake bridge would prevent stretching from taking place anywhere above it, and ditto for the little cross tube between the chainstays, near the bb (what is that called?) Since those two things should constrain cold setting to the lower portion of the stays, the Raleigh Technium should be safe for stretching. Sound accurate?
Cheers.
