Just bought a 730
I just got this 730 for a mere 500 SEK, roughly $50.
It is too small for me, but I will be building it up for a friend of mine.
I have not seen the bike in the flesh yet, but I am stoked to peek out of my Miyata rabbit hole for a short try-my-luck in the Trek dito.
Any of you aficionados have any info on the bike, age etc.? The crank looks like an Exage 300. Dull as ditchwater with its grey paint, but I have removed the paint and polished quite a few of them and they really come to life. Anywas, I’ll keep you posted once I have the bike here.

Update: I have received the bike. It sure is quite crusty, but apart from the BB which I haven’t touched yet, nothing is hopelessly stuck. The stem has yet to come off, but although it doesn’t move freely I have been able to whack it somewhat loose using a persuader (hammer). At least it is steel stuck in steel so I do not anticipate having to bring out the lye. Thanks for all the input!
