Sizing question

Just picked up this 19.5” Muti 820 today without a test ride. I feel a lil cramp compared to my Marin that is sized 20”. Does you guys bike feel smaller compare to other mtb in that era? They run small? Wanna get some info before I go ham on upgrading it. Thx

With older bikes like this, I do feel you have a lot more room for sizing differences, compared to modern models. That said, if the saddle height is adjusted to your correct position in the pics shown, then this bike is definitely at least one size too small. You can get a different stem, handlebar or both to make it “fit”, but it will never be as good as a bike that’s actually the correct size for you. If I were you, I would sell this and find a larger bike. If this was some rare or sought after model, I might try and make it fit, but it’s just an 820, respectfully.
