Vintage trek 800 ----16 inch frame---- - $120 (langhorne)
16 inch frame made from tange 5 chromoly steel. Shamino shift levers and shamino derailers, quick release wheels with araya alloy rims. Sakae SX triple crankset.
This is a neat old mountain bike from the 80s. It's in pretty good shape but does have some cosmetic flaws, it rides great though, all of the gears shift smoothly and the brakes stop strong. This frame has all of the braze-ons for racks and fenders, it even has low rack mounts on the front fork. This would make an excellent commuter bike or even a touring bike. It is a small frame, perfect for some one from 5' to 5'7"

Trek Antelope Mountain Bike - $135 (Doylestown, PA)
I think you can find a lot of value in Treks, and here are two great examples. These were marketed as all terrain bikes and they're the forerunners to what became the hybrid bicycle. This is the difference between '88 and '91. With the '88 you get front rack mounts and a 6 speed freewheel, the '91 loses the mounts and gains a cog. The '88 would make a great conversion to a city/town bike with racks, fenders and faster tires. If you're currently in the market for a hybrid either one would serve you very well.
Been a while, but is the black trek still available?
