Probably, not too many 80s bikes with a sloping top tube. I'm pretty sure they measured the seat tube, which a sz 50 has a 52cm seat tube, which should theoretically kinda fit between my touring bike and "sport" road bike...i think? But idk dude it looks fucking small with how sloped that top tube is. ime people are pretty bad at taking accurate measurements and sometimes manufactures measure things weirdly.
Funnily enough I pretty much only see Trek's and Cannondale's in my size for the most part. I have seen ONE rb-2 that was definitely my size in my state, but it was just way too far away.

That's a pretty modern frame(to me). My guess would be mid to late 90's since it has a carbon fork, split face quill stem, brifters,and a sloping toptube.
I agree on people being bad at measurements, I generally don't even ask and just look at the headtube length, but I buy 56-62cm steel bikes so it's easier for me.
Just keep looking, and since you already have a bike or two only look for deals.

Those low spoke count shimano wheels are cool and would work perfect for most riders using that frame.

yeh 99 like i said before. i was thinking hmmm, this would be pretty cool for a component swap if it doesn't fit me, but at $300 and a trip i'm not sure. the wheels are pretty neat so is full ultegra, but really i could definitely find something cheaper and closer if that is what I wanted to do.
i generally just buy lugged steel bikes when i can find them, but i thought it would be cool to have something kinda modern with brifters but not of the era with weird hunch top tubes frames that look 3x smaller than they really are.

Thinking about it the phalic shape can also be a detriment to getting one.
So my idea would be something like the Dijker (bottom pic) and the nose of the Viper Mk II from Battlestar Galactica.

This would serve the double purpose of not making it look like the tip of a dick and be the intake for ventilation (should be able to be closed when it's cold outside).
The point should be made from a material that can be bent so it doesn't go slicing knees if it imcta a person.
Legroom should also be researched and considered. To reduce the profile linear pedals instead of circular maybe should be considered despite being slightly less efficient.

>Personally I wouldn't use a velo without a racing hood
I agree. I am mostly interested in velomobiles as an all-weather vehicle, so it needs to be fully enclosed; similar to a car.
Something I don't like with the hoods is that if you open it when it is raining, the rain starts to fall directly onto the seat. In comparison the car doors are much better, the rain does not wet the seat (most of the time). And also I think that many velos require you to step on the seat when getting in, which can make it really dirty in bad weather. I am thinking more about the whole velo horizontally split in half, and the the top half opens up (like a car hood, but not just the front, but whole length. Kinda like Funny car dragsters). This way the top half still provides some protection directly above the seat. It does weaken the body though, so I am not sure yet.

You can and probably should to conserve battery life anyways, maybe the touchscreen experience is better on the bigger brand new versions but still my point is it’s just not a high-quality touchscreen, nothing like a smartphone, and the button-only model is a completely reasonable choice because of that. The touchscreen does DRAMATICALLY improve scrolling around the map (and if you’re doing that a lot you should get the largest-screen Garmin you can), but it doesn’t help much outside of that

It's been suggested to me that edging smaller is sensible when you want to be upright in urban riding.

in 531 road geometry - 58cm?

I read that individual component failure and assembly fault problems are so pervasive, even the Chinese aviation authority won't allow a C919 to be delivered without individually going through a battery of tests that is almost as extensive as type certification test. The CCP knows that if any C919 has an accident, it will be a deep reputational hole to dig out of, and China may not be able to sell a single commercial airliner to a non-third world country for many decades to come.

As in skinnier? Or thinner walled/tread.

I assume you mean skinnier. It depends really it's all a balance. In the city you can get away with skinnier tires but you need more puncture protection cuz glass and shit. Gravel you can get away with less puncture but need to have more.volume cuz bumpy ride. MTB you need big knobs and big volume cuz off road grip and shit.

A skinnier tires isn't necessarily better. But for gravel and city yea you can get away with skinnier tires compared to true off road.

Anyways fuck you your question is dumb

For gravel and city I would run 28-38mm tires with a low tread profile or no tread. Could go bigger but I would stay away from lots of tread, since that will slow you down+wear quicker in the city.
Bigger tires allow less pressure and tend to be more puncture resistant.
