Guys i have some virtually new...maybe worn 3-5 times aeroteck xl jerseys in both long and short sleeve.
I think i have red and yellow in short and red (i think not at home right now) in long.
These are in a tall however.
I just like a tighter fitting jersey. Even when i was 240 they didnt fit tight and now at 216 they really dont.
I am 6'5" and they were plenty long...if you are less than 6'2" i suspect these will be too long...of course if you are on the bigger side (i would guess if you are tall you could wear these up to 260
My guess from a coat size would be 44-46
You can have them if you just pay me the post office rate for a priority mail box
Pm me if you want them

Being an avowed comfort cruiser kind of guy (at least for now
) I can't imagine myself needing any of the above offered kit anytime soon...well, anytime at all, really. But for the folks who are putting this stuff up and trying to keep it going, I say, "Good on Ya!" It does my heart good to see such generousity on display with no thought of reward.

(mods -- this was ok'd by Tom via PM)
I am still a clyde, though now in the low 200s (201.4 this morning) after years in the 240s. I have purged the closet and have several used jerseys that I no longer, um, fill.
Free to forum clydes (via pm, please) are the following, lightly used and clean
- 4 performance / nashbar XL jerseys
- one long sleeved winter jersey
- one event jersey
All fit me quite well when I had a 39-40 waist. I am 6'3.
And finally, thanks to all in the community here.

I have a literally brand new pair if Giro Treble shoes in size 47. They are 100% free to the first taker. I bought them and then was generously gifted the shoes I really wanted but couldn't afford at the time. I don't post much but have gained an unreal amount of information and motivation from you folks. This is the least I could do. Lets get these gone!

Just a reminder, folks. The intent of this thread is for people who are kind enough to give away items that they no longer need, want, or a have a use for. The thread's intent is NOT for a general "hi, I'm new here- here's my size(s), so what will you give me?" queries.
When an item becomes available and you are interested in it, be sure to quote the relevant post to avoid confusion as to exactly what you are interested in.

Nice to see others running with this...
I have two jackets I'll happily send off.
One is a Gore, dove grey, with zip-out sleeves. 3 years old, two full winter seasons. Good 30 to 55 degrees.
The other is a Giordana silver line, orange, about 5 years old; also two full seasons. Good 25 to 50 degrees.
Both fit me well when I was 240-250, with a 17.5 neck and 36.5 sleeves.
PM me, please. I'm pleased to report that all my bike gear is now team fit...

I'm in the market for a jacket, and I've been to my LBS and a couple of local sporting good stores, and I'm having difficulty with sizing.
According to your post, you were around the same weight as I when you were wearing them.
I tend to carry most of my weight in the middle.
What size did you wind up getting? I noticed the Gore I tried on were really form-fitting.
I'm right between 5' 11" and 6' even, and I am between 245-255, depending on the scale.

Thanks for your help.

Jackets now spoken for -- 10 wheels and black walnut. SMCclain I'll keep you in mind if either falls through.
Be safe all.
