Well the rest of me got wider in the last 30 years so why not my shoulders?
But that's funny 'cause I was getting a fitting done a couple of years ago with one of those fancy, schmancy computerized fit systems and it kicked out a warning to the technician to remeasure because my shoulders were too far outside the normal limits. He had measured correctly though. I'm just built like a linebacker. I think bikes and cycling accessories are designed for REALLY skinny guys - how else can you explain why a size Large sport shirt fits me comfortably but I need 2X Large cycling jersey?
