    That good to know from both of you, this stuff from Wiggle seems to be getting rave reviews so I thought I'd have a punt.

    I've been looking at the stealth colour ones.

    What they like size wise?
  • peter413
    peter413 Posts: 5,120
    What waist size are you and I could probably tell you which size.

    I am a 35" there or there abouts and I have the XL, could get away with L as well.

    The cut is superb, I am 5'11" and the XL pants are the perfect length for me, and they are perfectly cut for use with body armour.

    The short are very well cut as well, just enough so that they won't catch on your knees and hinder peddaling

    You should be fine with XL.

    I have to do the thingys up all the way so they fit me and there seems to be a few inches of adjustment there

    A 203mm vibe rotor and 203mm pm-is front adaptor from superstar, for the stp as I manged to run out of front brake, then plushness, then grip, then talent which lead to a crash, praise the chicken wings and kyle straits oh and the full facer as my head ended up in a load of thistles :shock: , Now I'll look for a softer front spring :D

    Carbon stem spacers, black zip ties and one of these...

    112044.jpg

    580mm wide, 5º sweep.

    And then I've just got to work out exactly what length and angle of stem I want with it. Quite tempted to get a cheapo adjustable stem and work it out from that before coughing up for a decent fixed one.
    Happy trails.

    Why didn't you just buy a whole bike instead of a list of parts? :wink:
