Thanks for the color information and the information on clearances because I was also wondering about that. I'm now looking for a 60cm 1985 850 or 870 frameset. I checked out the geometry at vintage-trek.com and I really think I would like to build one up in the future.
If you haven't looked at the 1985 Trek catalog, you might be amazed at how close you came to that year's 830 color! <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k_dtTS_LRJU/VjTrGNaCF0I/AAAAAAAAAbY/9Ug9TXz8keQ/s1600/Untitled.jpg> On Saturday, October 31, 2015 at 11:14:16 AM UTC-5, drew wrote: > > Hey Michael, this was In the early stages of trek making mountain bikes, > so the 800 series all had 26in wheels at that time.
