It's official - I'm a fat bastard
I went down to my 'local' cycling clothing shop in Cottesloe
(absolutely nothing bad to say about Ride 'n Style - they took care of me perfectly) What I do have to say is that I never knew that a person with a 38 inch chest is now an XXXL in a jersey!!!!!! I am truly a fat *******! :-) Cheers! |

I am truly a fat *******! :-) Chinese sizes maybe? At an event in China earlier this year I was given an XL shirt with some corporate branding on it. The cuffs were half way up my forearms and there was a 4" gap at the front when pulled tight. But yeah, even if it is Chinese sizes, XXXL = fat ******* :) .. .. .. whisper Did they have any left? /whisper |

I was actually hoping to get my hands on a Gerolstiener short sleeve jersey (maninly because blue's my colour). Wound up with an (Bergamo) Italian team jersey instead, but it fits just fine. At one stage there were about half a dozen jerseys hanging up in the change room, so yes, they do have large sizes available. |

Mauritzio told me Italian sizing was particularly small. I'm medium in any other European/Oz clothing but XL in Italian. Maybe Italians base their sizing on some kind of anorexic system? ;0) Graeme |

I once had a set of Spidi motorcycle trousers. The xxxl size was fine for my 5'2" height. Zebee |

Then the females turn in to big Italian mammas and the males turn in to Pavarotti shaped objects. Who can blame them though, Italian food is bloody good! |
