British Biking

Tue Jan 6 08:59:20 PST 2009

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your message. Unfortunately I am 40" chest, 36" waist and 36" 
leg. So this would be a little short in the legs and a little big in the 
body. Shame as I have no qualms about ordering overseas or even requesting 
assistance from our group with postage.

We all had a little giggle here trying to understand what you meant by 
"oatmeal savage" until one thought of a Scotsman eating breakfast. ;] LOL

Thanks again and take care.

Cheers,

Re: British Biking

Its too bad your such a long "oatmeal savage" as there is a medium set of 
Gerbing electrics (Gloves, jacket, leggings and controller) in a local 
KIJIJI for sale at $100.00CDN/unit (don't know what the exchange rate is 
on 
the pound at the moment).  Jacket liner 42" chest, 33" sleeve, pant liner 
34" waist x 32" inseam.
You can also run a snowmobile suit covered with rain gear.  Don't know 
where 
you could find a such an item in Scotland.

Jim
