Don't know for sure but it looks like about a 51cm. I read in a recent magazine article that he's 169cm (~5'6" ish) and 58.5 kg.

Here's a pic of his itty-bitty bike I snapped at the ToC. I'm so jealous...

What I want to know is how he knew he'd won by half a tire width.

I guess that's why these guys are pros.

nah, you can do down to about 48 x 50.5 in 700c. there will be toe clip overlap but it's not really an factor above walking pace. smaller than that and you struggle to get the bars low enough with 700s...keirin stems etc.

Maybe Bettini knew but not all are that good. Remember Zabel's "bobble" a couple years back with Oscar Feriere(sp) nipping him at the line?

but zabel knew he had lost 1 micro second after the line.
he keeps asking friere to do the finish over so he can go all the way to the line this time like any decent cat 3......
oscar has not yet agreed.
