So I lined the GF up along side my (beloved) 820. The GF has no sticker so i measured it out at 17in. the (actual)Trek was labeled as a 19. The bottom of the line Trek 820 was about the some size as the, supposedly two inch smaller Fisher AND, to my poorly trained naked eye, had a
more aggressive geometry than the High-speed Gary Fisher bike. It also weighs about double the Fisher's weight.
