If anybody is interested I have an 87 T700 (62 cm) in the garage waiting to be put together..the white one that somebody posted a link to earlier. It's not free but if you can pick up in Seattle I'm willing to let it go pretty cheap...$120?...$80 without wheels. I've got all the original main pieces...frame, wheels, crank, derailleurs, brakes, stem, bars, shifters, seat post (no tires, saddle, pedals, cables). Frame is in very good condition, but, it did have some surface rust on the bottom bracket that I sanded off and did a hack spray paint cover up. Passes the 5 ft look test but up close you can tell it happened. I don't see any internal rust. Components don't like they have too much use but not pristine...I did use the wheels on another bike for several months but they are still very nice (would gladly keep if you want to convert to 650B...:^) I was psyched up when I bought it but have no real need for this bike. I'd rather give to the local bike charity than pack and ship but will gladly deliver to any local shop if you make arrangements. Can take some pics tomorrow and send.
