On a side note, I'm glad you've made this post as I have the same measurements and was enticed by a cheap 790 and 7900 near me in what looks like the same size, I was considering picking up for winter duty. Guess I might have to pass

So true. What seemed to be fine to me 30 years ago when I bought my 820 doesn't seem as comfortable now. Whether its the stiffness of my late 60s, or just experience with other bikes. Either way, I just have different needs and wants these dsys.
Had I known how big a problem it was I would have addressed it better sooner and maybe been better for it, we'll never know but I am much more comfortable on my bikes now that are right sized and they go better under me as well. |

By the color chart, it looks to me to be 91 or 92, but older is ok too.
I'm intrigued by this Antelope. Owner says its a 20" frame which would be one or two sizes larger than mine. The paintwork is a bit tatty but its black so should be simple to touch up. |
after 30 years?
I've forgotten what I wanted to say.
Somethings changed. Where's this, where's that? Emoji! |
