I might have a 2XL up for grabs if I can find a 3XL

agreed.. I got the 2Xl and, while I can get it zipped and it's not too bad, I'd have a bit more breathing room in a 3Xl..

I know Euro Race Fit is a thing, but these seem a bit ridiculous!

[thirdgenbird]

Yep. I went XL and probably could have done a 2X.

I will make it work. Realistically, the Xl probably fits my “in shape” figure.

My local shop, Brickyard Bikes (Martha's Vineyard) has a new All City Space Horse in a killer color that they'd like to move. $1,500 pickup, or $1,550 packed plus shipping. It's a 52, which in All City terms has a 54.5cm ETT , stack/reach is 559/380. I think these are $2,000 MSRP. Takes chubby tires and has lots of mounting bosses.

Im not upset considering how much it cost, but it would make me feel a lot better if i could see a picture of a real life human in a size small

We exist! There are tens of us! I'm surprised Castelli small isn't cleared out more often. The sales seem to typically be on L and up.

Schwinn Paramount OS Waterford 58cm 1991 - $900
A 1991 Waterford made paramount OS from Schwinn 58cm size. This got a modern updated drivetrain with a campy centaur 11 speed group. Complete group except the wheelset which are some older campy hubs with mavic rims and some new s-works 28mm tires. Looks a bit tight on the tire clearance at the chainstay myself may need to have the rear tire dropped down to a 26 or 25mm. The original owner supposedly had it repainted in the recent past. I can’t confirm this but the paint and decals look fresh to me. No idea who did the paint job either. No obvious scratches in the paint there are some paint chip spots including in the typical places at the dropouts. Does not look like the newer campy group has seen much use since being put on the bike. Has some flats installed now for test rides nothing special and the headset is Chris king sealed bearing with a modern stem n drops installed with some kind of adapter. If you’re a paramount purist type this probably isn’t for you. Better suited for someone whom wants an older classic steel ride with a modern drivetrain. Obvious, but in case your wondering I’m betting the rear hub is 130 spacing and the bike was originally 126 rear spacing. I do not think it’s been cold set the bike shop who did the parts install they likely just slipped in the rear wheel instead. Pretty common on such a small mm spacing change for older road bike frames. Text or message me only thank you.

I wear a small in the jacket version of that and it feels the same as small for most brands tbh

[AngryScientist]

I would say this pricing is optimistic, but this looks like a pretty cool older Mercian. Lots of braze ons makes it appear this is a more versatile frame that could likely take wide tires. Rack and fender mounts as well as a bunch of others. Interesting bike. Anyone know more about what this might be?

Agree with you on the pricing. This eBay seller always seems to be like 20% higher than what I’d think to pay but I’m also frugal

[mhespenheide]

The swirly front lugs usually indicate a "Vincitore" from Mercian, but they apparently did a good amount of custom work, so any of their other models might have been specced' with fancier lugs as well.

I got the ls jersey in medium, and its a little baggy on me without a ls baselayer.

Yeah, been browsing his sales for years but have never bought from him. Prices are too high compared to everyone else selling in the market. Always has a lot of interesting stuff but I just haven't been able to pull the trigger on anything at his prices.
