Rex, I watch the old Treks on ebay pretty closely, and I think your plan makes great sense economically. The 520s with tig welded frames like yours are very popular, sell quickly, and I am always amazed that framesets in general seem to sell pretty close in price to fully built bikes. I checked my saved list and saw two built up bikes that recently sold, one for $785 and another for $520. The $785 bike had very low miles (300-400) on it. Yours looks to be a very nice color and well cared for, so I would say you shold be able to sell the frame/ fork with bottom bracket and headset for somewhere in the $350 - $450 range. If you can hold off til early spring when the itch to ride kicks in, you may be able to do a bit better. I see no reason that most of your parts could not be reused on a new Riv frame. Good luck, and let us know how it works out. Bill Carter
