The 800 has an aluminum frame and is newer; the 820 has a steel frame, probably with 4130 CrMo in the main three frame tubes.

I'd prefer the 800 for the newer components and the aluminum frame.

However, both are small frames and might be best suited to riders 5'8" in height or shorter. How tall are you?
