Older classic full rig Trek 720 Touring frameset, dark gray, from about 1984. Size 21". Frame, fork, headset, brakes included. DuPont Imron paint still in decent condition, as are decals. Lugged 531 steel, canti brakes, long chainstays, all the touring brazeons including front low riders. Horizontal Campy style dropouts, Stronglight headset, everything on the frameset is first quality.
Made for 27" rims; I put on some 700c rims on the workbench and the brakes seemed to fit okay, but YMMV.
$150 or will trade for similar touring frameset in 24" size. Perfect for 7- or 8-speed indexed conversion on the cheap.
Links to photos if interested.
Also have 19" Schwinn Voyageur touring frameset if interested. Lugged steel, very very nice. British Racing Green. Quality frameset.
Located in Phoenix AZ area, dry home of rust-free bikes.

Hello, are the Trek and Schwinn still available? Thanks, Mike
I've had interest on the Schwinn, but both framesets are still available as of right now.
Photo of the Schwinn (not all parts are for sale, just frame-fork-bb-headset, $125 or trade for 24" or 25" similar steel touring frameset. http://www.photolin.com/bike/voy-a.jpg
Data: Beautiful British Racing Green Schwinn Voyageur touring frame/fork/BB only, 19" lugged steel, about 30" standover height. Top-quality bike from the 10-speed era. Columbus Tenax double-butted steel tubing, frame made in Japan for Schwinn. Full set of brazeons for racks and for canti brakes. See link for photos, scroll down and ignore camera gear. Frame/fork/BB only, I'm taking the rest of the parts for a frame more my size, it had first-rate Wolber 98 40-spoke rear 36-spoke front wheels with heavy gage spokes to give a sense of how this was originally configured. SEAT TUBE C-T 19" TOP TUBE C- C 19.5" STAND OVER HEIGHT (w/27" wheels) 30" CHAINSTAY 17.9" WHEELSTAY 20.5 WHEELBASE 40.75
Also: Photo of the Trek 720 which is 1984 model. Looks just like the gray one in the 1984 Trek catalog which can be Googled. Selling frameset only, but if price is right I can put the wheels and stuff back on or in a shipping box. Can't get a better lugged steel touring frame for my asking price of $150 unless you get lucky. http://www.photolin.com/bike/1008-001.jpg
