The bike in the pictures is a 21" frame. If you notice how much seat post and stem I have out I would love to switch up one frame size. When I bought the bike new I was using it for trail riding so I went down one size for the clearance, for touring I need to go up one size. They only made that frame/color/size combo for 2-3 years and I suspect that the 19" and 21" frames were the most popular sizes. I have had the bike since 1989. It takes me a while to convert things sometimes, I work on the road and some years spend 260+ days on the road, so getting things done at home takes time.
