This reply goes right back to post #2095 in which cycleclinic says he can't reach the change leves of his Cambio Corsa.
If his position on the bike as shown in the post is compared with Bartali's

it's quite clear that Bartali's position on his bike is much lower and further back behind the bottom bracket. His handlebar stem is shorter and it's not flat down on the headset locknut. Although not visible, I promise you that his saddle was mounted behind the saddle pillar, not in front of it, as cycleclinic's is.
Put all these together and I think it's clear that Gino had a much easier task to reach his change levers than cycleclininc.
I still think it must have taken a miracle for the pious one (as he was known) to win the 1948 Tour using that gear.
