Non-Ebay Deals/Bargains

Gonna go to the local Hargroves tomorrow and see if they have any in stock

I'm a 30/31 waist, around 68kg and the medium bibs fit well, however I have a gilet that's a large ( I'm a 38chest) if that's any Help at all.

Go up a size on legging and shorts there jackets fabba espresso etc are true to size so medium will fit like a medium . All my shorts legging are large from castelli . Normal medium in assos

Thanks a lot. Hoping they have some in stock to try, but thinking medium or large to make sure I don’t lose a foot.

You’d be a large I’d bet. @phildas a medium I’d say

Got a medium pair, as I've got bare hench thighs.

Callin me a fatso???

Ahaha but yes, I was thinking that too. Pretty sure I’m about 71kg but legs are a bit chunk.

Got medium tights in order. I'm 5,10 and 12.5 stone. 33 waist....... will see how they fit!

Assaid im a large, I wouldnt consider myself fat #no1everdoes

Two questions;
Do they plan to do a reflective?
Are they much above GP4000II s??

I'm 69kg and 6'2"... so...

Basically every one taking pot luck on Castelli sizing

They are faster in terms of rolling resistance, not sure about reflective.

6’3 and 76kg

Xl for the tall one

Better p protection?

12% better rolling resistance
20% better puncture protection
10 g lighter (25-622) than the GP 4000 S II

Aerocoach have confirmed the rolling resistance is better (not sure if it's 12%) the rest is un tested. I've bought a pair to try them out.

I wear a small Castelli 68-70kg, 5ft 10" with a 30 inch waist. TBH could get away with that or medium.

Ah I guess I’ll have to try them.
We should really pool our testing expenditure over the next few months!

Have you tried the 46/34 yet?

Ha, true.
I’ve bought the group set already, 50-34 and the frame arrives at the end of Jan, so I either have to sell the 50 as new, or ride it and decide later.

Re the gp5000. I moved over to Michelin pro 4 endurance as the side walls on continentals regularly let me down, but I’m going to give them another go.

Nice, ta!

Does anyone know how those gp5k size up?
In the last version the 25mm measured 28mm, and the 28’s almost 32mm on a wide rim.
I just saw they do a 32mm GP5K, is that 35+mm then?

Someone posted a link a while back in the tyre thread and I think it said they were truer to size (might be completely wrong though). Obviously massively influenced by rims though...

I own a lot of Castelli stuff, always size up.
I'm 6ft2 86kg - certainly not fat and need xl for bibs and jackets from them
