Silly Commuter Thigh Size

Right 61cm
Left 60.5cm

Hairy.

I'll be at VB lights about 0830 on Monday if anyone would like a "road" test.

What I need is someone to make a table, not a dinner table, I'd need a real man for that. No a tinterweb table to compile thigh sizes on, I need a small, badly muscled wheezy sort of chap. ITB should do.
Fixed gear for wet weather / hairy roadie for posing in the sun.

What would Thora Hurd do?

    You'll regret that.

    You can easily spot a man with weak legs by his lack of fight, also his baggy jeans/genes

    Edit: Got it - the other thread. Which is, coincidentally, what my father once called my left leg.

    Baggy lycra this way. Still - about to go and nail Dark Hill KOM. See you at the top.

    What's with the euro measures? you'll be weighing yourself in Kg and riding in Km as well soon.

    Left and right both 59cm - nice and even. Am I measuring it wrong, or is Greg:

    a) a freak
    b) adding a bit on, to impress the laydeez?!

    Yep, luckily he didn't notice. I was going for the inside thigh measurement when he spotted me

    71cm, or in real money 28 inches.

    Which makes me think greg got confused between thigh and waist.
    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    I can understand GT standing their most likely naked measuring his various body parts (wifes away) but surely the rest of you must be getting some pretty odd looks from partners, children or flat mates, you know like measuring your body then posting it on t-internet.

    anyway DDD will be along in a minute to object

    Alas no tape measure in this house after the "full length mirror" incident, here's a photo instead.

    Currently a rather disappointing 63.5 cm (25").

    Was 68.6 cm (27") when I was younger doing triathlon training.
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.
