Short men - Reveal yourselves

[Hyslop]

Quite possibly the most terrifying thread title of the year.

Cheek!

Another question would be, is there much of a difference in pad between men's and women's shorts.

I'm no expert but I assume the difference is all the about the dangly bits
Or the lack of them in the case of ladies shorts

Why am I going red ?

 

[vickster]

It's the shape of the pad too and the distribution of the padding

5'8 and judging by tan line/tide mark about 6cm about knees DHB medium bibs are just about spot on for 29" inside leg.

5'6 and around 30/31" leg and I have no problems. I do find Decathlon to fit best but DHB is perfectly fine too.
I do like italian style clothing though

Im about 5feet 6 inches,with a 29" inside leg,Pearl Izumi Pro are a good fit,as are Santini ,both Medium.

True but really I was hoping it was a "own up, who is short?" thread so I'd know who not to stand next to on my next forum ride.

Steve is the kind of younger man who put paid to my claims of being 'tall' ...

I got to my full height of 6' 1" (1.86 m) in my mid-teens and towered above all but a couple of other boys in my school. People thought I was very tall back then.

In the years since then though, average heights have crept up and tall men are now more like 6' 4" and very tall men like Steve (6' 6"?) are no longer that uncommon.

Oh and that reminds me ... @Steve H - I've heard that you are back on your bike after a bit of a break - why not come and do my next forum ride on 22nd August! (And that goes for the rest of you lot too, including shorta*ses! )
