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
