I find this to be true as well. Three years ago I bought a new Harper for $100 off FB Marketplace from a young man who purchased the bike online, assembled it and found it to be too small for him. It has served me well for those occasional 15 -20 mile casual rides. I assumed I would be putting some money into it for wheel and brake upgrades but I never found the need to do that.
