They had the 25's earlier in the week - but when I went back today none left. Still not sure if I'm happy or sad :shock:

I take a medium in all brands of cycling jerseys including Castelli, though Castelli is a bit smaller (maybe like a quarter to half size) than some of the other brands, certainly not two or three sizes different!

i went with XL in the end, there wasn't much evidence in reviews that i needed to go 2 sizes up. 2x SS gabba's ordered and on their way (frikkin trakpak) from wiggle, as they reduce them for a while and ended up paying 140 each i think (with TDF-1 code). i did prefer to get a LS, but will do with arm warmers in case they're not that good. waiting for the next sale ....

The bargain bike light....The Xeccon S 12 is available from http://www.cyclingdeal.com.au" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for $69. Incredible throw, long run-time 4.5 hrs on max....
Alround quality product.

So far I am amazed that it is possible to buy this much for this price.
Will review in a couple of weeks! XECCON!

Depends. If you are closer to a small/medium It could be very different to a person who is closer to large/medium ,like myself. It also depends on the particular item. My Castelli Espresso is a good fit in large. The Gabba is a much closer cut.

I have a similiarish light on my MTB that I bought on eBay (from a link on here in another thread) and find that having the on/off/high/low beam button on the back of the light isn't good as you need to re-adjust the light every time you press the button as the light is pushed forward/down. This is obviously for when it is mounted on the handlebars, on the helmet you don't have this problem but no way really of changing beams while on the move.

I found the best solution was to mount it beneath the bars, solved all my problems with it moving round.

Whats the difference between this and the ebay jobs like this:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/151507973937 ... 26_rdc%3D1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Same Lamp
Same functions
Longer life battery (maybe)
over 1/2 price

Probably the battery is not good. Not a lot of info on the battery, which is an important component.
1800 lumen..I don't think so.

The Xeccon S-12 is very good quality, battery also.
Sure, the Ebay one is much cheaper, but the Xeccon S-12 is fantastic value/quality for the money.
Am really happy with it.

Presently both list 4x 18650 batteries ..capacities ... claimed=
The ebay one says 6,400 Ah
The bol one says 4,400 Ah

So the ebay one wins. Quality is unknown for both ...

So tempting. Got a pair of the 2014 ones and a pair of Infernos which are both great, was looking at a hanger alignment tool from Wiggle as well so perfect opportunity.

Good price, thanks for the info.

I've owned 2 pairs of Castelli bibs for a few years now and I like the Progetto X2 pad...so ordered 2 more pairs. :D

Thanks. Is $50 good value for the Capo jerseys? I was looking at getting some dhb jerseys from wiggle which are around the same price - which would be better value?

I wanted to ask the same but couldn't find a thread to do it =P
I'll have one in a couple weeks when my pending order arrives. I was after one now to set the next item in motion, since it didn't qualify for their current $25 off July clearance.

I have a bit of Capo kit from their medium product range and is pretty good. Nice quality and fit... At least for my body shape
