It depends on when the frame was built, it could be several years away from when that spec sheet was published. The ad says it's measured C-to-T so I believe it's a real 50cm frame, and my (vague) memory of that time is it came with 26" wheels. The Rambouillet in 50 and 52cm also used the smaller wheels.
