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.
yeah for sure mediums for you,, mediums for me fit very snug but when i do get to your weight 165 lbs they will fit perfectly. im the same with you on the bicep parts also. if you have a performance bike near by go in and try some castelli stuff on thats what ive done. some people like the fit real tight some like the fit looser for comfort. i personally like it form fitting so the tighter the more comfortable i feel and the chamois doesn't move around. idk if this might have confused you more than helped you, im sorry if i confused you.
]the thing is every ones body on here is different, or just like the looser or tighter fit better
