The Trek is correctly sized for you, based on the standards of the time.

Sure, fashion plays some role. As the 80s progressed, smaller frames became more fashionable. Better for stiffness, lightness, and aerodynamics. If you're a non racer, those are irrelevant.

PS. Don't descend on the hoods. Use the drops.
