Long wheelbase and laid back head angle along with Reynolds tubes made the perfect combo. Im keeping my eyes open for one in a 24 inch frame. Hard to find in the condition I prefer but one will turn up.

Enjoy.
Here's a 1985 Trek 620 - same geometry as the '85 720 (I think), 531 steel - 58cm.- Clevland, OH
