What brand and size frame did Miguel Indurain use?
Just curious. I notice that he was a big rider at 6'2" plus.
I'm the same height but am 1000x slower!

Don't remember what frames he rode, but try to imagine climbing with 25-30 lbs less weight - that's still big for a climber, but still a huge advantage over 200+...

Does anyone remember the frame he used at the 89 tour when he won at Cauterets?
He was so tall, the top tube arced up towards the seatpost.....Groovy.
