Good catch. Now that you mention it, I really do like the cluster with Trek etched into the seat stays where they reach the top tubes. The thin tubing is a nice look. Mine is an '82 728. Since I had to change just about all the parts - former owner had let it go to pot - I guess technically it is now a 720. It is my camper, so right now it is storage waiting for riding weather to return to the upper midwest. I miss my buddy.
