In praise of the Lusso diet.

[Tail End Charlie]

I haven't been doing much riding recently, so, to cheer myself up, I bought from Chainreaction, two (obviously one isn't enough) pairs of Lusso bib shorts in my size, XL. I like Lusso stuff, it's well made, made in Britain and the sizing suits "normal" people. They arrived and I went out yesterday in one pair, and you know what? I reckon I actually need the large size, so thank you Mr Lusso, you've cheered me up immensely!!

It's excellent kit and most unusually, it's made entirely in Greater Manchester about 100 yards from where I work. They do give me a big neighbour's cash discount but sadly I don't really like the styling; I find it too busy.

Now if Lusso were to make some plain, classic cycling jerseys in the style of Rapha or Planet X......
