Ribble sizing for small people

teagar

Is it just me, or do Ribble only sell bibshorts from Medium upwards?


Sucks!

Ribble's an awful lot cheaper than Wiggle, but they don't seem to do small shorts.


I'm only small....

Edit: turns out it's only the shorts I'm looking for... Even bigger bummer.

They're too long - even when they're small. And the chamois chews my arse up.

I can only really use the Italian makes, Castelli and Giordana, both of which, arn't ever stocked in small on ribble.

And they do exist!

Have you used Giordina stuff before? It's worth noting that they're Italian sized, so their Medium stuff is the same size as small/extra small from some others. Castelli's mediums are more in line with everyone else's though.

Edit: I've heard good things about Lusso too: http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/productde ... USSZBBS350

Ah, fair point.

Is it worth the risk over the internet though? Say if the Gior medium is too large?

Try 'em on with some underpants on. If they don't fit, send them back.
