BibShort Sizing Concerns...
...Is ther eanyone out there that has used Specialized and Champion Systems bibshorts?
I typically wear a Medium in Specialized and the sample pack that CS sent me did not include a Large, and he Medium as just a tad too tight for my track thighs. haha
Any advice would be appreciated.

ChampSys stuff fits out a bit smallish...
I had to get XL bibs...both for the legs and the length of the straps, and I'm no fatty...(6'1 and 180, right now)

Thanks, yeah, I'm 6'2" with some rather crazy long levers. The Mediums would be perfect if I was still at my uber fit 160. But I can't realistically stay at that weight for an extended period of time.
I'll give the large a shot.

I'm 5'11' and 135 lbs, and I fit into Champion System size medium bibs.

I wear Castelli bibshorts. I'm 6' 1", and 179 lbs. Tall and lanky. Yet I need an XXL in everything, when I buy Castelli.
Weird. I'm a Medium in some shorts (well, truth be told, between a M and a L)...
Moral(s) of the story: manufacturers vary a lot, AND you got to try them on.
