guy wont tell me the frame size. Haven't ridden it yet.
24' and 26 is a big difference?

Wheel diameter doesn't determine frame size. Go sit on it and test ride it. Don't be afraid to bring a 5mm allen wrech to adjust the seat and handle bars...

The seller is an idiot. There is no such thing as 24" wheels, it has 26" wheels and the frame size should be somewhere at the bottom of the seat tube.

Actually, there are 24" wheeled mountain bike-type bikes. They're a stopping point in frame size increases for kids as they grow up.

And actually, in the Trek 820 series, which was produced in the early 1990's, there is one frame size, the women's 15.5", that did indeed have 24" wheels.

Here's a link to a partial 1991 catalog capture, in .pdf format:

Next to last page, in specs, notice in the 820 block.....a 24" wheeled bike listed. Imagine that.

So, who is an idiot? Someone potentially correct with his assessment of his own property, or the one criticizing someone with NO idea what he's talking about. Idiot.



To the OP....it's a woman's 15.5" bike, which is why it's listed as having 24" wheels. The rest of the 820 frame sizes had 26" wheels.

What are you wanting to do with it? That thing is ancient so unless you are getting it nearly free and just want a commuter pass.
