Pins for OG cred

Off topic but I've been recycling the same pins from 2013-2014 race season when I joined KCC. They are better quality/sturdier than the newer ones that seem to bend easily.

Thanks so much.  Two is all I need.  I'm in thursday and friday.

Anyone have either a more aero fit M or even S jersey they would be willing to sell? Viewing some pics and videos of myself racing and I'm not looking very aero in my club fit. This is clearly the reason I am not winning races and must be solved for.

Here is the club's "spares" inventory with old sponsor logos: $20/jersey - PayPal Kissena Cycling, Inc. and put your name down for the kit you want in column H:

I bought Mark’s size M Verge kit off him and it fits me pretty perfectly - 5 foot 8, 160 pounds. The long legs M bibs are a perfect fit. The jersey is I think a race fit and definitely feels like a second skin. If I gain 5lbs it’s over for me. 

Has anyone got the Verge long sleeve jersey, jacket, or vest? How are they? Quality, features, sizing?

I have the Thermal long sleeve and Flight 3.0 vest, both in Small.

Thermal long sleeve is just fine. The fit is kind of weird on me - loose arms, tight body. I prefer the CS one which is stretchy so everything is snug and form fitted.

Flight 3.0 vest is great, but lighter weight than the CS ones. The back is a mesh panel so def less protective of light rain and the material overall is thinner so not as thermal but still good at blocking out wind. I wore it on my failed Fire Tower brevet attempt with Greg and it was aces. Very form fitting, more so than the CS equivalent and it isn't stretchy like jersey material.

Can bring both out next time we go for a ride.

Thanks Dave! I’m pretty well kitted out in Champ Sys winter wear, but I really like how the Verge summer kit has a more modern aesthetic. I’m thinking about whether it’s worth the cash to double up on winter wear.

Anyone else order the Tor 4.0 Long bibs, they feel short to me..

Been doing some inseam measurement comparisons:

Tor 4.0 L (Long) - Medium = 11"
Champsys Performance Endurance (Long Length)- Medium = 12"
Champsys Apex+ (Extra Long Length) = Medium = 13.5"

Should i size up to an L?

Finally tried on my Verge XS Strike 2.0 Carrera speedsuit.

It fits pretty much like my Champ-Sys XS Performance Skinsuit.  The top's material, for the chest, back, and shoulders feels thinner and stretchier than the Champ-Sys.  Looks thinner, too, which might mean a meshy skinsuit isn't as important in the summer (the side panels seem to be made of thicker spandex).  The leg cuffs are a bit shorter, and that seems to make them a bit easier to pull on.  The bottom of the short sleeves doesn't have any gripper material on the inside, so it's a bit easier to get the sleeves on.  The short sleeves may be a bit longer.  While I thought I might prefer three pockets, they're all pretty small and short, so I'll have to see once I race in it.
