I was recently asking about an '88 trek 610....it seems to have gotten away. Other recommendations? Something fun to ride, cool to look at. Good for 50-100 miles on a sunday....$300-$400. I'm not looking something mythical-I'm looking for something pragmatic, that I'll actually find. Age not important.
Thanks!
Thanks!

If you like Trek, you should be able to pick up a nice 80s vintage model for $250 or less. Or go with one of the myriad of nice Japanese bikes from the 80s: Univega, Miyata, Panasonic, Lotus, etc. Should be able to find one of them for under $200 in clean, ready to ride condition.
A nice 1985 Trek 670 with all Campagnolo Nuovo Record components just sold yesterday on ebay for $160.
