    Just seen the extra £15 off. Can't. Mustn't. Shouldn't...

    Going to view a house tomorrow, if we make an offer and i get them to knock £125 off the asking price they've paid for themselves, right ?

    The above-mentioned jacket.

    So they're good then? I might buy a fat one if they're that good?
    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    Mavic LADIES jersey 68% off (So now £17.60 down from £55) in most sizes for the lady in your life, or of course if you are a lady yourself, and not just at weekends. (Comes with arm warmers too)

    Bought one for the missus, didn't come with arm warmers and CRC sent the international size, not the UK size, despite me checking with them first which size was quoted :(

    To be fair, they dont say it comes with arm warmers, merely "Matching warmers and the UV protection make it versatile" - suggesting an additional purchase. Its a little ambiguous, as you could read it that they are included but I think precise analysis of the wording tells you they are not.

    That doesnt excuse them about misinformation on sizing - at least returns are free and easy though.

    Think it should come with armwarmers - previous year's models definitely used to.

    Yes I think it should. I ordered the previous years model from Evans, and that came with them.
    CRC always tend to send random sizes with mavic kit. I always order a few sizes and just collect+ them back for free.

    Guys, very tempted by this too, love a bargain!
    Read a review on cc, the chap was 74kg and went for an extra large.
    Could you please tell me how the sizing comes up for you, and slso on the bib shorts?

    Thanks chaps. I'm about 5ft 10, 72ish kg, and about a 37" chest. Anyone got an opinion on which size might work best?

    I went for a medium. 5'11", 75kg, 38" chest.
    Reckon if ITB is large then I'm medium. Because he's one size manlier than me, before he has a moan about me calling him fat. Again :oops:

    As most of you know i'm a big Castelli fan and would never speak bad of the brand but ....

    be warned i've owned 3-4 of jackets over the last couple of years and everyone of them has had stitching around the cuffs come undone, including my current jacket. I sent one back to wiggle even though it was 2 years old and they gave me a full refund, which i promptly spent on another model.

    Out of interest, and after having a browse, is no one interested in the Pazzo jacket at all?

    Seems to be up for a similar discount, but has removable sleeves - is there a reason the Mortirolo is loved more?
    I appreciate it is in a more limited range of sizes.
