wup- here it is:
       -size n[bckw]
              File uses n units of space. The units are 512-byte blocks
by default or if `b' follows n, bytes if `c' follows n, kilobytes if `k'
follows n, or 2-byte words if `w' follows n. The size does not count
indirect blocks, but it does count blocks in sparse files that are not
actually allocated.

EXAMPLE:
 find . -size -130c


I know its not as much fun as ls grep and awk, but what the heck.
