    I am at work and I am not whipping my legs out infront of anyone here, plus the lack of tape measure would mean I would be just whipping them out for no reason.

    Oh dear, 52cm. About the same as they are long. But, they seem to work and get complimented when the shorts are on. So that's good enough for me.

    Mourning is right, you are the undead.

    Next time don't have the flexi-ties done up so tight, they can cause constriction and clotting - very dangerous over and above the danger you are already face by your "predelictions"

    Isn't this all a bit of a moot point really as 68cm of fat isn't exactly the same as 68cm of muscle.

    Bet this guy has the edge on everyone here! :lol:

    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    58cm here and no fat on me, been described too many times as a racing snake.
  • Point of order.

    Where on the thigh? Mid point? Very top, next to that place that only the tailor knows about? Somewhere in between?

    My tape measure needs to know.
    Swim. Bike. Run. Yeah. That's what I used to do.

    Well Greg66 said my legs were skinny the other day, but MM said I have a "good cycle muscle structure"* I suspect G66 is nearer the mark.

    *BTW, MM, we've only met once, several months ago IIRC - I didn't realise you were taking such notice.

    Yeah, also where are people measuring the calf?

    Here's an idea! Have a thigh measureing day at the Morpeth. The/a Greg/s can bring a tape measure and measure our thighs. They'll love it and we be reassured that all measurements were done fairly and accurate.
