Hi everyone. We have just started cycling and am in need of
some help. I am 6ft tall with a 44 inch chest.......can
anyone recommend somewhere I can buy a reasonably priced
shirt / jersey. I need one with a long back. Also non
padded shorts.

Why non padded?

Bummer, innit? All cycle clothing seems to be designed for
Italian midgets. I found Briko Katana b*bsh*rts to be a good
fit, mine ar XXL (which is pathetic: I am 6'1" and under
13st, scarcely in the clydesdale class). The longest jersey
I have is also Briko. I have a long back so if the style
hasn't changed that should do if you can find it in your
chest size.

Edinburgh Bike Co-op own brand stuff does these sorts of
sizes, I'm 6 ft 3", 46" chest, and I've never had a problem
buying clothing from them..

You can buy non-padded shorts just about anywhere, I'd have
thought. Padded are the ones to have, though.

Why non padded?

You don't need nappie^Wpadding on a recumbent. So presumably
Jim is joining the dark side from the outset.
