Trek 170

The very last Trek 170 manufactured in 1983, serial number 110032, but decaled as an 84. Production of 170's was 132 in 1983, 82 in 1984, and 32 in 1985 for a total of 246. Of these 66 were this size, 58cm frames. The frame is built with Reynolds 753 main and fork tubes and uses the 60TSI BB casting. Frame, fork, and headset weigh 5.5lbs.

From the Vintage-Trek website http://www.vintage-trek.com/
"The Model 170, arguably Trek’s best steel racing frame, was available during the period 1983 to 1985. They were made with Reynolds 753 tubing. Among their users was the 7-11 Team. Several were made by master framebuilder Tim Issac. These bikes are highly sought after in spite of the use of the nontraditional socketed cast seat lug."
