seller on marketplace claims this bike is a 1986 trek 1000 road bike but i cant seem to find any trek frame of the same model with the same decals, is this legit? also, seller is selling the whole bike for 18k php (which is around 329usd), how much would it cost for just the frame if it is legit

Definitely repainted with modern/non stock decals.
Can confirm the rear seatpost bolt and rear brake upper tube routing is consistent with 80s/90s trek road bikes.
For 329, seems like a fun bike that’s got lots of fresh parts
It looks like an old Trek frame that has been repainted and mostly upgraded components. The build looks OK from what I can see. You are in a different market than most people here and have other options.
You can get a brand new Chinese bike of good quality for similar price. Check Keysto, Hador, Trinx, Twitter, etc. The Lt-two components are generally good (that is probably what is on this bike, I can’t see clearly enough though). I had a fantastic Keysto 29er for years that I paid $280 USD for brand new. Air fork, tapered steer tube, two piece cranks, NX equivalent 1×11 drivetrain, etc. In the US a decent new bike is two to three times that price.
