I think I fall within the category of people with the inability to have large calves :-( Mine have become more tone over the last couple of years and I can see the "split" between them now...which is cool with me. I wouldn't say that large calves are associated with stronger riders, as I've crushed many of giant-calved riders up climbs before and out on the flats (to be fair...i've had my fair share of beatings on the roads from those who do have large calves, as well).

I recommend just being happy with your physique and knowing that you can hang with even the largest of calve-sportin' riders out there...those who are serious about the sport aren't gonna judge a book by its cover.
