I have a Raleigh Alyeska and always enjoyed the comfy, stable ride. Never had a problem with the seat stays. Since yours broke once, the second break might be related. Also love the color and accents.

Eddy Merckx Pro 58 cm BIN for $180
I am extremely and sorely tempted by this but really shouldn't be buying any more project frames right now. Somebody buy this and save me!

Good grief, I need to stop checking this thread. Thats twice now I've ended up buying one because of it. I told myself after I sold the last Merckx that if a similar one came up in my size, I'd buy it.

It's actually a 630 model, not a 930 (SN and paint/decals confirm), but it's still 531 and an early vintage Trek. Bike looks in pretty nice original shape. $300 is hard to go wrong at all.

This is a beauty, and I think priced fairly considering what it is:
