+1 that looks about a 55 (21 inch) or a 56 based on the head tube size. I can see someone doing some slow centuries with it and be fine and comfortable, and it could be ok to actually race it in tri's (sprints) but one would need:
-a new saddle (and maybe a new seat post if the one on it is the impaling kind)
-new pedals (cage 105s at least)
-lose the rack, kickstand and reflectors
-get at most 25s as far as tires are concerned (these look 32ish)
-add a clip-on aero bar
-lower that stem
the bike looks really nice. And if someone is illustrious enough he/she could get a full tribar up front, add aero brakes in the bullhorns and move the bar end shifters to the aero bar ends and get a cockpit config similar to the modern tri bikes...
