Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

If Hincapie fits well, what's wrong with Hincapie?

I'm a huge fan of louis garneau. their XXL fits me really well. most of the XL stuff fits way too snug on me. Hincapie fits pretty well, too.

I'm 6'2" as well and found that Pearl Izumi Jerseys fit me well. I don't go with the form fitting though. Don't want my form out there for everyone to see quite yet :-)

I'm 6'3", 230 pounds. I don't mind a little form fit, but nothing too tight. The PI stuff fits well, too. Well made, as well.

Assos Mille is a longer cut and is more "American" through the body. It's my favorite jersey by far.

How do Castelli jerseys fit. I wear medium Voler jerseys from velowear.com and its a bit loose at times, but then i wear a Medium in the Hammer Nutrition jersey and find the fit perfect, its nice and snug and doesn't slide around. I wanna try out a Castelli jersey from PBK but don't want to order the wrong size. Might just go with a medium but if they run big then i may get a small.

Castelli runs small, very small. At least that has been my experience with them.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I wouldn't say "huge", maybe rotund is better?
