He looks like he stole his kid brother's bike.

Or is just the camera angle?

Oe ja - that is Tyler Farrar at the start of Stage 1 of the Tour Down Under.

 

I know the pros have a good idea of what works best for them in terms of set-up... looks so teeny weeny though. :blush:

I had fitment done at the Sports Science Institute and could ride both 53 and 51cm, I recently changed from the 53 down to the 51, it feels much more responsive and there is definitely less flex.

 

Cornering is much tighter and takes some getting used to though. The pic above though does look like itstoo small for him
