They’re here!

With the longest day still fresh in our minds, the 2006 Bikemagic jerseys are now on sale!

It’s farewell eyecatching-but-impractical white and orange and hello to the colour that is already being called “Bikemagic blue”. Yeah, OK, there’s several blues in there, fair point. That’s the unique “chainring camo” design, that is. Ideal for hiding in a box of blue chainrings. And we know how often that situation crops up, so you’ll be glad of your BM jersey.

We have two styles. First is your classic race-style top – zip front, three pockets round the back, close-ish fit – and the one on the right is a more relaxed, we might almost say freeridey style – crew neck, no zip, single zipped pocket on the back, loose fit.

Both styles are available in six sizes, intriguingly called 2 to 7 or Small to XXXL if you prefer. To help you decide which you need we’ve got a handy sizing guide.

Jerseys are £39.99 including postage (although by conventional economics, they ought to be £45 plus postage really…), and you have to be a Bikemagic member to buy one – if you’re not a member, please register (it’s free and only takes a couple of minutes). If you are a member, make sure you’re logged on and head for the BM boutique…

Sizing

Always a tricky one, this. Here’s the official sizing table – the numbers are the stated sizes, the words are the meaningful names and the measurement in inches is the chest size range that ought to fit:

2	Small	36-37in
3	Medium	38-40in
4	Large	41-42in
5	XL	43-44in
6	XXL	46-48in
7	XXXL	50-52in

Remember that the freeride jersey is a considerably looser fit – to give you an idea of the difference, we put Dave inside each of them and took a picture. We cropped his face out for the sake of readers of a nervous disposition.
