What Size are Your Thighs?
I often see this topic in the skinny forums but us clydes can play too!.... I measured mine at the highest point and a lil flex does help! For comparison, throw in height and weight too!
6'1-245 lbs.......24 1/4" thighs!

I assume the weight should be 245 pounds, not 145.

6' 6", 248 pounds
27.75" quads
Rick, who did my bike fitting at the LBS, is a former road racer, and I think he still does some track racing. He's about 5' 10" tall, and has 28" quads! The guy is a superbeast.

Sweet jebus! Just give up on pants and wear a kilt. (That's was my solution when I couldn't find jeans that fit.)

Near the top of my list to visit! Have a friend who wears them a lot and has been working on me. I'm getting close...
Did you ever try to ride in one?

Well a whole group rides RAGBRAI in kilts. I assume during the ride they wear spandex under, but don't ask during off hours!

I do all my riding in street clothes, and don't have problems with anything else. A kilt, though, is just no good.

6'2" 250 and 26.25" Gauds
Do you guys find that pants fit funny - like they can be comfortable around the waist and calves but tight around your massive Gauds.????
