You may recall I had tried selling the lot of trek frames here for a while with no takers. The lot is now up on ebay where a viewer caught my idiot mistake and corrected me that the 420 was a 311. I looked it up and they were right, The catalog cut from vintagetrek.com: http://www.vintage-trek.com/TrekBrochure1982.htm#311front Geometry shows that it is the 55mm rake fork, and I used JimG's trail calculator to check that yes indeed, if this were converted to 650b x 35 or 38 that you could have a ride with trail in the low 40's. I still need to move these out, but for someone inclined to make a budget 650b experiment, or at least capture the fork for other73 deg head angle builds, you can see them here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190466660686&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT Item 190466660686
