Having a hard time coming up with a price I could get for this updated 1985 Trek 720.
Think I could get $700-$1,000 range?

About the Frame:
- 1985 Trek 720 complete (Trek’s flagship touring frame for the year)
- Investment cast lugs with embossed TREK logos.
- Burgundy paint with sparkle flecks (original paint/decals so lots of beausage)
- Reynolds 531C double butted main tubes, fork legs and stays.
- Plenty of braze-ons for front/rear racks, fenders & 3x water bottle cages
- 56cm / 22.5" size, great for cyclists around 5’9"+ tall
- Cantilever brake posts originally positioned for the mostly obsolete 27" wheel size but bike has been updated with modern 700c wheels. Included cantilever brake calipers specifically chosen with vertical adjust-ability to compensate for the difference in new wheel diameter and narrow post spacing.
Standout Build Features:
- Tires setup TUBELESS with sealant on a lightweight modern wheelset
- Integrated dynamo lighting system with bright front and rear LED lamps and low drag generator hub.
- Custom lightning bolt mudflap attached to full fenders to keep road spray off your shoes and drivetrain for those wet days.
- Wide range subcompact double 46/30 tooth crankset to easily tackle Seattle’s hills.
- Best rear Tubus rack that money can buy paired with waterproof Ortlieb racktop bag that has quick-release mounting system.
- Wide platform pedals with lots of grippy pins.
- Anti-theft wheel skewers that only open when bike if flipped over.
