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

No... that's just wrong.

The floor tiles are probably 8-12 inches and the top tube is a little longer than one tile?!

Here's from the FELT site:

It does say it's 52cm and takes 650cm wheels...maybe those are 18" or 24" tiles?

Make sure the lister isn't this guy.

Well, if the tiles are 18-24", then the trim along the wall must be pretty wide.
