<p>I've actually purchased a few bikes (and sold a few) here on T<em>he Chainlink</em> that didn't draw any such community derision and just quietly fell down to page 2 and beyond. It's easier to do on the various community sub-forums where the peanut gallery doesn't get their panties in a bunch.</p>

<p>Oh, and James, to be that two wheeled devil on <em>your</em> shoulder, I'm also selling an identical frameset, in much, much more used condition, though. It's a 23", probably just your size ;)</p>

<p>The article could very well be incorrect -or the data set incomplete. But this is a website that specializes in vintage Trek bikes. As always, it's a good idea to measure anything before buying it and see for yourself. I've looked at many bikes and bike components that were not exactly as documented -or advertised. TANSTAAFL.</p>

<p>It's a beautiful bike though. I was looking for a 520/720 for a long time as I had despaired of ever finding a Raleigh Competition/International frame and had pretty much giving up on that. Then a Competition frame in my size fell in my lap. When it comes back from powder coating I can't wait to swap it out with the frame i have now. </p>
