For all the 51cm frame riders among us, here is a flippin' 1987-89 Schwinn Prologue in black/grey for only $100!!! Located on the Maryland-Virginia border, it looks to be complete and in decent shape. 6400-era Shimano 600 equipped (620x brake levers however). Beyond a steal for $100. @brandenjs posted this in the Late '80s Schwinn thread, so I am taking the liberty of posting it in this thread.

I am selling off one of my projects which is a 1994 Bridgestone RB-1 Japanese made road bike. The bike has a 57cm Tange double butted steel frame, Ishiwata crowned fork, Shimano 600 components, Shimano 8 speed STI shifters, Deore headset, generic bar/stem and a set of modern bladed Shimano 700 wheels. This was a post Grant Peterson model but still of similar high quality. The frame has 2 very minor dings on the top tube which is nothing structural but worth a mention pictures of them will be included. I own a few drop bar roadies already and can't justify another one so it's the reason why I am selling this project. With a few parts and few bucks this could be a sick roadie. Every part on the bike works including the STI shifters so it doesn't need much to get going. Sold for cash and pick up only . Please mention name, item, location, a phone number for a response all other emails or texts will be considered spam and will be ignored. Thanks

Wow, that's close! Waterford frames, at least from '84/'85 through the end of the decade (non-oversized tubed models as OS came in around 1990) are all the same geometrically. I have found with my '85 that I have to set the brake calipers' pads at max lowest or near lowest position. I've run 25mm tires without issue. The fork crown and rear brake bridge will clear 28mm tires or better, but it's down to the chain stays which don't provide much room. I'd have to check when I get home to see if 28s fit in there. There is certainly enough chain stay length to accommodate.

There is a reason the "New Record" was called "New".
That one will be mostly steel. But, they have a lot of appeal for vintage enthusiasts.

I don't pay a lot of attention to vintage cheap Mixtes. However, this one caught my attention.
Vintage TALL Upright Raleigh Road BIKE! Super Record Townie Road Bike - $160 (Eugene)

Nothing spectacular about the bike, but it looks like it could be 58cm to 60cm, which would be relatively rare for that era of Mixte.

I posted that Trek back in mid August when it first showed up and was $400. I thought it might be higher up than a 500 series because of the 531 decal on the fork. Also just noticed the triple and the rear frame bosses....
Some discussion begins here: eBay / CraigsList finds - "Are you looking for one of these!?" Part II
If it were my size I probably would have owned it (or at least have gone to look at it) by now.

Wonder if someone just slapped the stickers on or if Trek happened to make a few 7 series with that color scheme but didn't list them?
Weird.

No problem.
I think a more definitive distinction is the lug at the head tube / top tube junction. Note that the Thrifty Bill example is a short point, while the CL ad version has a longer point on top.
Per the 1982 catalog on-line, the lugs are different between the frames, and a long-point would indicate a 515/510 frameset:

It's possible that the fork crowns are also a tell, but I haven't spend much time to sort that out.

Any opinion if this is a good deal for $200? Seems like the low end of the scale (West Coast Scale) for the entry IronMan bike

Looks like an '83 610 with some component upgrades to me. Der cabling under (vs over) the BB suggests '83. That said, Thrifty Bill @wrk101 (see above) says his frame is an '82, and I have a mystery bike with an '82 serial number, but under-BB cabling.

1) a stress riser that has led to cracking.
2) extra holes for rain to get into the frame.
Also in ‘87 it was a 712.
That’s a $250.00 to $300.00 bike in Chicago.
