Is somebody at ST's IT department having an early Friday pub visit? The webserver is throwing HTTP502 errors like crazy!

Jeez, pop that saddle on the Spesh up a bit will you? 😉

Looking forward to the trail bike group test.

Who made the rule that button down shirts must be worn for gravel? 😊
Nice shirt mind.

The real question is what's so exciting about June?

Glad to see their woman's sizing is as mental as the rest of the woman's cycling market! ::rolls eyes:: If Hannah is an XL...what happens to the rest of us?!

Santini's size guide is rubbish as well, ordered a jacket based on my chest size and their size chart, couldn't even get it on, so sent straight back....

Maybe Hannah needs an XL as she has suddenly become very tall. Either that or that's a small door.

I've almost started a thread on this a few times, I'm always shocked when I compare sizing on my gear vs. my wifes*. She's just an inch shorter than me and pretty much my weight, I'm a S/M where as she's a XL/XXL. I didn't think sexual dimorphomism was so pronounced in humans!

(*stop trying it on I hear you say!)

Also Ashat is now Tasha? did I miss the memo on changing to Tam?

Makes Rapha look cheap!

Mind you, Assos's winter jacket is £595!

I'm a medium in real world clothes and normally XL or XXL in cycling attire!

@desperatebicycle @footflaps Not cheap, but not over £300 for any of the jackets here. Did I miss something?

For some reason it does this when I comment on front page posts!  I have no idea why - I have checked the settings in my profile!

Total this. @p20 is similar (slightly less!) weight than me, and 1" shorter - S/M, whereas I am L/XL (though in this case, it looks like I am at least an XXL!).  And I am a size 12/14 in the 'normal' world.  So many woman 14+ struggle to get cycling kit.

Seriously though; how would you wee in that bit of kit, especially in the weather it’s designed for?

I like the look of that Ride Shield car/bike protector. A lot neater than the old duvet cover I’m currently using
