Have 24" Trek 710 ISO 23" Trek 520

I have this rough paint,






good rider condition '82 710 that is too big for me. I am looking for a 23" 520 with front low rider bosses. i think 23" was only made in the early 90's. i am in So Cal, send me a pm if you have something.

thanks
Ruben

My bike, just a frame and fork now from post #1699
Is a 22" (55.5 cm to be more specific) but it has the same top tube length as a standard 23" (57cm).
It's not a 520 but it does have Reynolds 531C tubing. Probably not a good fit for you but thought I'd throw it out there.

Bikes I have:
- I have a partially (wheels + deraillers removed) deconstructed 85 Trek 560. 24". I have the deraillers but lost the front clamp screw. I also have the wheels but I'm intending to use them for a different project. Could be convinced otherwise.
hanging onto the 610 for now
I am looking for.. well I'm not really sure. Parts, handlebars, wheelsets, tools, bags. I am located in the front range. If you're interested let me know!

1983 Bianchi Nuovo Racing

NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Picked this one up today. Measures 24" ST and 22.5" TT, too big for me. Looking for something comparable in 54-56 cm. Prefer to trade complete bikes but will also consider a straight frame swap. Let me know what you have.

I love my Trek 520, but it's a size too big. I'd love to get one in 21 inch (54cm). It's an 84. Looking for a same or similar Trek.

You may want to try putting flat bars on it, possibly with extensions for when you want to lean forward.

I am clearing a few bikes out of the shed. This Nishiki International is available free for the taking if anyone is in the Eastern Panhandle of WV of Md. I have taken a few parts off of it since these pictures. I need to get it out and measure,but I remember it being a 60-62cm frame. Hit me up if interested.

I have an early 80s Austro Daimler Inter10 Mixte frameset made with full butted Reynolds 531. ST is 21ctt and top tube is 22.5ctc. Paint chips throughout but no damage.

Im looking for a frame for my wife. Something with relatively relaxed angles and no toe overlap suitable for 5’ female with ~27” inseam. 26” wheels are fine. Thank you.

The frame you have seems to be just about right on already. Is it still too big or are you looking for standard diamond frame?

I like the mixte element but a 57ctc top tube is pretty long for a 5” woman. I’d be interested in a Terry if anyone has one kicking around. I’ll get pictures Thursday.

I just got a shock! Stand over height for this Nishiki is 30” with 700 wheels. Sorry to waste your time. Looks like this will hang around forever!

She cleaned up nicely! I hope you can find someone to keep her wheels spinning. Thanks for taking the measurements and pictures.

Sorry, my brain missed that you listed measurements in inches, not cm. 1.5" differences are almost 4 cm. Not doable with a really short Technomic stem?

24" 1981 trek 710



This is a tad big for me and maybe too sedate for my ever present mid life crisis. Looking to trade for a size 58 TREK 700, series racing frame in similarly nice condition.

Fuji Espree ‘85

I have a Fuji Espree ‘85 but it’s 21 inches and I’m 6’0. Everything is original but the saddle. It looks like it came straight out of the catalog. I can’t post urls cause I don’t have 10 posts yet. I like Nishikis but am open to other bikes. Had a sweet comp III and sold it cause I’m dumb.

1991 Miyata 1000 LT



It’s a long shot but who knows...
I’ve got a 1991 Miyata 1000 LT in the 57cm size, and I’d love to swap it for a 1000 in the 60cm size.
I’d prefer the 1991, but I’ll totally consider other years. I am looking for the STB tubing, though. Frame only, full bike, we can work something out.
cheers!
