It has got to be 1986 or later

This 1985 set of photos of Serotta Catalog show flat crown forks being used, mine is sloping. Seat stays are different. Hmmm

1986 instead?
These photos seem to confirm 1986> I do wonder why no model is on the top tube, maybe this was a custom bike? I need to measure the dims real carefully to check if it strays from documented stock sizes.

Fixed gear super shop. Request a specific frame size(52cm-60cm)c-t, select between bike frames all nice classic steel(Reynolds 531, Tange 1, 4130 Chromoly Steel), select preferred crank arm length(165mm-175mm), select gearing, select brake setup(no brakes, front only, full), select stem and bar. Basic package starts at $200 and includes all new (tires, tubes, chain, track cog, bar wrap). Build time is about 1 week, includes complete rebuild from frame up. If you have a vision let us help you make it a reality. Pictures include former builds and current projects. Get your Fixed Gear Fix, and rediscover the joy of riding this Spring. Classic steel will not let you down. Many of our bikes weigh less than carbon fiber and titanium super bikes that cost $3000 and up.

Trek Mystery. Well I am posting this to get a little help unravelling a mystery. I am the new owner of a metallic flake blue 25.5 inch(64cm) TREK.

I think it may be a first year hand built TREK but the pieces are not adding up. I am not planning on keeping the bike for myself as it is just too large. Normally after about a week it would become a fixed gear and be adopted into the Brazen Cycleworks family. But this needs to go to a Trek collector and I need to raise some $$ for Toys for Tots for a benefit ride I am doing in August. So if you can provide the most help I would love to send you a Brazen Cycleworks polo shirt in L or XL, I think that is all I have left. I need to know how to market this bike accurately to get the Trek collectors what they are looking for and raise big bucks. Drop me a line if you think you can help. Here are some details and pictu...

Columbus SLX and SPX I pulled the BB and checked the down tube, seat tube and chainstays how Dave Moulton recommended. 6 raised spirals. It is a dirty job but now the tubing has been revealed. Check out the vintage Serotta decals on the pearlized white and the ornate lug work. Anyone know what the two tapped holes were used for on the drive side Campagnolo drop out?
