I am doing the same conversion! The 1983 Trek 620 is the last sport touring model year with side pull calipers, as far as I can tell. It is a nice frame, with decent clearance, though it looks like only 38mm tires with fenders will fit. I am still thinking about the wheels. I have some Mafac Raids and the rest of the parts.
My other winter project is building up a Betty Foy for my wife. It just arrived yesterday. That might happen before the Trek. It is a really nice frame, though there are a couple of paint imperfections that I was disappointed with. One is on the heart cutout detail at the top of the seat tube, so very noticeable. Oh well - it was one of the sale frames and really very nice overall. I have figured out everything for the Betty Foy build except for the cranks. I have a sugino AT that would work well, but I was trying to work out chainring selection. I like the wide low double with chain guard that Riv sells, but can't find a chain guard for the 45 big ring size.
