after a few research i found one of the few 49 cm SL4 in the peloton (Bazayev's)

even the tiny Levi rode a 52

(I guess Tiralongo and Seldrayers ride a 49 cm sl4)

Man I am so gutted by this, where to start. I think what scares me more is how Ive followed him since getting into cycling in my mid teens, as an inspiration. Only 4 years older than me when he was cruelly taken from us, makes me realise again how precious life is.... how must his family feel, taken form them in his prime. I will miss you Burry. :| Hope they catch the coward who ran. sad day for cycling.

I actually find Rapha too generous already. Maybe I need to have a more oddly sized torso and arm length :wink:
