Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

But when this is available I might grab it.

Also my lycra shorts are on the way

I was once a MTB guy who though the same way until I saw my first jersey.

TwinSix makes great jerseys, but fit a touch small. Or it's a race cut. You decide.

I said the same thing. Then I broke down. "Just this once," I told myself. It was a tight black jersey, btw...

Now I bike around wearing gold lycra short/mini-tee combos with "B*TCH" emblazoned on the front. I make the bikerfox guy look like Paul Bunyan. You've been warned.

I'm sorry but comparing the butt fugly crap from Primalwear to Twin Six is equivalent to comparing Dogs Playing Poker to The Creation of Adam.

Are all twin six jerseys 7" zip? Why? I'd be all over them if it was full. They've always caught my eye.

Amen on the full length zippers. Still, these jerseys are sweet and their t-shirts are nice too.

Just bought a Speedy '07 from Twin Six and yes, it's a bit small for a large but that means I don't have to flex as much to show off my rippling flabs. 17" zipper on it too.

Being half-Norwegian, and after seeing my uncle with one, I asked for this for my birthday:

Not my first snug-fitting jersey, but it's probably the most snug that I've got.. lol

Are you half Belgian or Japanese? The other jerseys on that site are better.

Tight? Not as tight as they could be.

The twin6 guys are awesome. One of the two of them actually posted on the forum, and supplied the image for my sig (which is a link to the site, btw). I bet if enough of us let them know about your love for the full zip, it would show up, either later this season or next. I love the small responsive companies, that can make things work like we want them to!

My chest is a 38" I went with a medium jersey. It fits very nicely (not skin tight), before this jersey I was wearing Under Armour loose fit shirts. I started riding road with my MTB gear until I can across this jersey and not I have a good number of different road jerseys and shorts.
