NOS Trek MTB (It is very strange to see a ‘retro’ mountain bike for sale that’s never been used)

I saw this Trek 820 on a facebook group in Bristol and thought there’s got to be someone out there who would value a NOS Mountain bike, even if you don’t want to make an offer, you have to at least marvel at the brand spanking newness of it?

I have never seen an unused production mountain bike cryogenically preserved in time, and then listed for sale, have you?

That certainly is a rare turn up. Especially at a very sensible price

It's very basic/common though. It makes that Mercian Canyon on Ebay looks like even better value.

yeah thats a nice example but very basic.

i like how the dork disc is still clear, nice find

I am thinking of actully retro-fitting a pieplate dork disc, I spent actual money on a Milremo one nos recently, want to put it on a four speed mtb thing I just built.

I liked the look of that Mercian but if anything it was a bit too nice. And maybe too small for me.

I can't really work out the sizing on this. What rider height would an old-money 19.5" frame suit?

Its probably 50 quid more than it would have sold for new though!

@spj7 I found this URL below for size.
I ride a (1995) Trek 930 on 19.5" and I am 5'10" the size is perfect for me and I have a short inside leg measurement of 30" but proportionally a long body.

so 19.5" c-c would suit rider of 177-188 cm 5'9.7”-6'2”
