[RBW] Re: First Impressions of Nitto Albatross Bars on my 1985 Trek 620

Sky - the frame size is what Trek called a 22.5" frame. According to the geometry chart in the brochure it has a 55.9 cm seat tube and a 56 cm top tube. The brakes are the original Shimano XT-MC70 (the brakes, the headset and the rear rack are the only original parts on the bike). The tires

Oh tell me about it, Ryan. I sold and immaculate pewter Saluki frame because it was a smidge too tall and I needed the cash. Bad idea! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails
