Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I like the fact that he said that it is fairly unused

If you look at the frame in comparison to the wheels, I doubt it is over 52 cm. How they get 65 cm is the real question. It also says it is 31 inches. I assume that is the height of the seat from the ground.

Anytime I see an imperial measurement for a bike, I cringe.
