New CL find in the stable.
Picked this up today at a steal of a price.
1983 Trek 640 is pretty much stock except for the saddle. Great shape. Just some paint work and she'll be ready for the road looking like new.
Seems like a long wheelbase comfortable bike. Used to sell them in 83 as a Trek dealer.

As you probably know, I'm always on the lookout for bikes that are good IGH candidates and this one is nearly perfect for that purpose.
