so 5'9 175 lbs Medium in castelli sizing
plus the castelli bibs feel like they stretch out a bit mainly with the bibs. jerseys also stretch out a bit
I'm so glad I found this thread as I'm about to get a Castelli kit. It's 20% off at Competitive right now. Your measurements sound almost identical to me, only I'm about 10 lbs. lighter right now at 165. If the mediums fit you well then they should be perfect for me. Its just that I've always heard that Castelli runs small. I have some Assos stuff and the medium bibs and jersey fit perfect. My medium jerseys always fit pretty snug in the upper arms since I have larger biceps/triceps than the average cyclist. I lifted weights for years before getting into cycling so I'm pretty bulky up top. I may start trying some large jerseys.
