Got to love the Scorpione Rossa
- seriously considering the L/S Gabba as my "commercialmas pressie to self" but need to find somewhere that has them in stock to try on... I think i'm just between XXXL and XXL at the moment, and I could do with trying the XXL gabba to see if theres enough "give" to wear it over a decent winter weight l/s jersey
or if it'd be a base layer only proposition this year... If it's too tight, I'll hold off purchase this year, because... well... you don't spend that much money for a jersey for one winter, do you?

Mark, I bought the XXL. I have a 43 inch chest and a 34 inch waist and have reasonably muscular shoulders and arms. It is a tight, body hugging fit but is fairly stretchy. I reckon I could get one thin base layer under it but that's all. Castelli sizes seem to be much smaller than other brands. I really like the way the sleeves zip off at the shoulders but still leave you with short sleeve coverage.
Also just saw some info on their Alpha jacket. Looks interesting though pricey :-(0 -
I've loads of Castelli kit - I'm certainly a XXXL in their shirts, but the jackets (like the Mortirolo Due I mentioned last page) is definitely a more relaxed fit - it's fine over a thin base layer AND a roubaix l/s jersey (if needed - it'd have to be fecking perishing to need that on a ride though!), but the Gabba (2013 s/s XXXL version) I've got seems to be sort of half-way between the two in terms of fit, so I really want to try it before I buy...0

Nice pile o' kit! I definitely need to beef up my cold weather gear collection.0

Some new rubber arrived for the 'cross bike just in time for the weekend's races. I guess I'll be swapping tires while watching Hockey this evening.

Hopefully 2 more weeks in the brace and then done. Look at ordering the new bike in the next week or so.0

nice lid... I'm sure the yellow highlights work with your ensemble... I've got a bit of an aversion to yellow fluro tbh - mainly as I look like a big fat canary on the bike still...0

Enjoy the rids with the new helmet. Going to have to wait until January before I will be allowed back on the bike to try mine out.0

Oh - now that ticks the right boxes... though I'd probably substitute my Canon F1 and the FD50mm f/1.2L... Or maybe the Canon A1... Hell, even the EOS-1v and the EF85mm f/1.2L USM...

I've had many, many camera over the years as my interest in photography has repeatedly waxed and waned. Sold or traded in most of them but kept some of my sentimental favourites.
Like this perfect 1935 Leica Model III with a 1937 Zeiss Sonnar 50mm f1.5 that was given to me by my dad. (He nabbed it in WWII in Germany). The legendary Canon AE-1 from circa 1979, my first serious SLR and my wonderful Nikon D300 which is all the camera I'll ever need.
Lots of memories captured by these fellas
Oh yes and some Garneau shoe covers to keep this on message

Wow -- what a nostalgia hit I just got seeing these shots. Loved the AE-1 and the K1000 back in the day. I never had either, but used both borrowed from friends. I miss using film cameras, it was quite a hobby for me growing up. I still have an old Yashica GSN I bought as a little kid as I can't bear to get rid of it. That inexpensive camera took some great photos...used to do all my own processing and darkroom work with second hand equipment I bought over the years. Ah, the smell of the stop bath and the hours under red lights...0

Ah memory lane indeed! I was just looking at some photos that I shot with my first 'serious' camera, a Soviet Lubitel 2 TLR that I got for my 8th birthday. Nightmare of a camera, awful lens and construction quality but a great way to learn about setting correct exposure and good framing techniques. Wish I still had it
