Review of "Lucy 3-Speed": a Raleigh Lady's Sports
The benefits of Raleigh 3-speeds are that they are sturdy, comfortable, durable, easy to ride, have good front and rear loading capacity, and can be fairly easy and inexpensive to obtain. There is just something about the ride that makes this bicycle a crowd pleaser. Some people, myself included, are also drawn to their aesthetics and history. The late Sheldon Brown wrote a great deal in praise of the English 3-Speed, and I invite you to read about it here and here.
From my own experience I especially stress the "easy to ride" aspect. Lucy 3-Speed is very much a "hop on and go" kind of bicycle. It is comfortable, but lighter than my modern Pashley Princess. It is sporty, but more stable than my Motobecane mite roadbike. I don't think about it too much, I just get on the bike and go - and it always feels great.
This particular Lady's Sports is a 1970 model. It was "re-claimed" by me from the depths of my parents' garage, and you can read all about that here, as well as see lots of photos in its "before" state.
In the classic "Raleigh green" colour and 21" frame size, this bicycle had all the standard features of a Lady's Sports, including a lugged straight step-through frame, 3-speed Sturmey Archer AW hub, North Road handlebars, matching fenders and chainguard. Though it sat abandoned for decades, there was nothing really wrong with the bicycle, other than a stretched out chain, flat tires, and some rust around the handlebars. Still, I made some upgrades to it that I consider crucial when one is buying a vintage 3-speed:
New Tires: As a rule, you should always get new tires after purchasing a vintage bike with original tires. It does not matter if the previous owner (or the bike shop you bought it from) assured you that the original tires are fine. Replace them anyway. The reason for this, is that vintage tires have a tendency to explode after their second decade of life, even if they appear "fine". You don't want this to happen while you are cycling in traffic. It is easy to find new tires for an English 3-Speed, because they come in standard 26" and 28" sizes. When you are buying new tires, spend a few extra dollars and get ones with kevlar protection to save yourself the trouble of getting flats. The nice cream tires on Lucy 3-Speed are Schwalbe Delta Cruisers, and I have written a detailed review of them here.
New Brake Pads: Vintage 3-Speeds have one tragic flaw: steel rims on the wheels. This means that in wet weather, the caliper brakes do not have great stopping power. Getting new, super-grippy brake pads will help with this, somewhat. The salmon Kool-Stop pads are generally considered to be the nicest and grippiest.
Lowered Gearing: Some find the standard gearing on Raleigh 3-speeds too high, making it difficult to go up hills. This is easily remedied. Simply ask you local shop to "lower the gearing" by replacing the rear cog with a larger one. For the hills in the Boston area, I recommend a 22-tooth cog. Lucy 3-Speed is now a great climber.
I also had the chain replaced, brakes and hub adjusted, and a general tune up. All this was done by the excellent Harris Cyclery in West Newton, Mass.
Other functional/aesthetic upgrades included replacing the old saddle with a sprung Brooks B67S in "honey", replacing the original handlebar grips with shellacked cork grips, installing a Low Rider Bullet Headlight by SunLite, adding a chrome pump from Old Roads, and adding a Pletscher rear rack. The bag on the rear rack is the Sackville Trunksack.
As you can probably tell if you have been reading this website, I am detail-oriented and tend to get carried away with aesthetics! Still, none of the updates I've made to this bicycle were expensive, except for the new saddle, which I could have done without. I hope this review shows that it is possible to make an elegant and comfortable bicycle out of a vintage 3-Speed. You might be surprised how many old, neglected 3-speeds are lying around in people's garages and basements, weeping and waiting to become somebody's beloved commuter!

pretty sports!!! my wife had the identical sports in the same green!
i would generally agree with the "crucial three" upgrades, except that wouldn't automatically lower the gearing by replacing the factory 18T cog with a 19-22T variant. this is highly dependent on your local terrain and by how easy you want to pedal versus how fast you want to be able to go in topg gear. if it were not for the hills of somerville, i'd have kept all my 3-speed rear cogs at 18T. but because i live near the topmost peak of somervilly, swapping to 22T cogs was essential.
also, readers should know that upgrading to a22T rear cog will automatically necessitate chain replacement, even if the current chain is fine.
i would also add a "fourth" crucial upgrade: slick stainless steel brake cables. you can keep the original housings for the sake of maintaning the period aesthetics (they should just be cleaned and lubed), but replacing just the cable itself will make braking smoother, more reliable, and will reduce the effort required to brake-- all without changing the appearance. somervillain - Thanks for those additional comments, I agree with you about all of it. Lowering the gearing should, of course, only be done if the rider feels it is necessary and lives in a hilly area. I just particularly wanted to stress the point that it is possible, because so many people have told me that they can't climb hills in vintage 3-speeds and seem to think of this as an irreversible thing.
ReplyDeleteDon't want to pile-on advice here, but, when you buy new tyres, please make sure that the bike shop that does your upgrade replaces the inner tubes with quality tubes (like Schwalbe) and also puts on new, fresh rim tape--and checks the insides for rough spots. There's nothing worse than spending money on a tune-up with fresh rubber and finding your ride flatted on the first outing. (Yeah, it happened.)
ReplyDeleteMDI, yep. The main drawback of the bicycle are the heavy steel wheels. When I switched to alloy on my Raleigh Superbe, it became a better-handling bike. And modern brake cables help, they won't rust and are safer than the originals. Mine no longer has the original caliper brakeset. When converted to 700C, it was replaced with a drum brakeset. This is the same configuration found on my Pashley roadster.

I'll never understand how the English chose to, or chose not to, pluralize the word sport. They call their sports page Sport Page and their sport bicycles Sports Bicycles. Grrrr. They make me so angry. Okay, not really. - AnonymousOctober 13, 2009 at 6:06 PM

And don't get me started on how they pronounce AND spell aluminum. I just makes me want to say "woRld" over and over agian with a crazy heavy rhotic R just to watch them squirm. I always liked that shade of green on Raleigh three-speeds. The cream tires, oddly enough, bring out the goldish-brownish undertones.
Good point about the tires: When they're stored, they dry-rot. (Paradoxically, humidity causes this.) The same is true for leather saddles, although old ones can sometimes be brought to life with neatsfoot oil.
As for sport, al-oo-min-ee-um and other British pronunciations: George Bernard Shaw once quipped that England and America are two countries separated by a common language!I wish the " fairly easy and inexpensive to obtain" part were true but alas, where I live it's quite the opposite. The only vintage Raleighs I've been able to find have been later model derailleur equipped 5-speeds and they're usually brown.
One technical detail that should be pointed out is some of the parts on an English Raleigh are not standard. The bottom brackets are a less than common specification as are the headsets. Your LBS will most likely not have the parts if you need to replace these items. You can find them via the web, but the LBS staffers will probably just look at you funny .
And as always, Sheldon has the info: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/raleigh26.htmlI have a three speed Raliegh Superbe and I love it. I thought hard about buying a (wayyyy) more expensive Dutch-style bike and picked mine up for $50 instead. No regrets whatsoever--it looks great and is a very comfortable ride, and I saved all kinds of money. I don't know why more people don't go this route.
Not all Raleighs came stock with an 18t. My Superbe came with a 16t! My other Sports an 18t. I often wonder if these bikes were assembled using whatever parts were available at the time?
For those that live in really hilly areas there is a source for some custom made 25t sprockets. ;-)
AaronCaliper brakes with Kool Stops are cool indeed, however, rod brakes (which squeeze upward against the rim) absolutely do not work when wet--and you cannot put Kool Stops on those. My rod brake pads seem fresh enough, yet if it takes 10 feet to stop in dry weather, same speed will require a painful slowing path of 30-40 feet in the rain.
ReplyDeleteGreat review of a gorgeous bike! The vintage style is beautiful with those cork grips, leather saddle and cream tires. You really have an eye for making good-looking bikes even better. What are the main features that distinguish this bike from your Pashley, other than the braking and weight?
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful bicycle. Can anyone tell me if their is a functional purpose to the chrome extension in front of the stem? Not the head badge, of course... I'm talking about the bracket-looking thing with the Raleigh insignia outlined on it. I once heard a light went there originally, but your placement of the light looks pretty authentic to me, leaving this bracket/hook thingy beautiful but still mysterious.

The chrome extension is indeed for a portable head lamp. I found one from a bike restorer and it is chrome plated tin operated by two D batteries and made by Elite c.1970.I had one of these in the early seventies on this same bike but it had long since rusted out. It fits well on my Raleigh 1952 Sports bicycle.I had to put a shim in the lamp socket so it would fit tight to the metal lamp shaft on the stem and I also placed a couple of copper pennies to fit beneath the batteries so they wouldn't shift and flicker on and off when I hit a bump in the road.

@ 2whls3spds:
that may have been the case, that some SA-hub equipped raleighs came with something other than 18T cogs. it might have also been a dealer-specific thing, whereby dealers would automatically swap out the cogs pre-sale, if they knew their customers would return with complaints about the gearing.
it's also noteworthy that the front chainring was not always the standard 46T version that came on most sports models. some had 45T and some had 48T... go figure. NOT as easy to swap those out!
also worth noting, sturmey archer recommended against rear cogs larger than 22T. the reasoning was that the hubs were not designed to handle the increased torque provided by such low gearing, and that they would grind themselves to bits if geared lower. Fil, I'll have to send you a picture of my wife's Sports when I'm done. It is a '64 model and I've taken it down to the bare frame and back with shiny black and silver lining.
She still asks about her first bike, a Blue Star of London. There were so many Sports "clones" if a list were made it would go to a hundred I bet.@somervillian,
Defintely not fun swapping cranks around. My current stable is around 7 Raleighs with IGH, plus a couple of others that use the Sturmey hubs. I have cranks from 44t to 48t. Rear cogs range from 14t to 22t depending on the bike, rider and use. The only SA hubs I have seen destroyed were those being used as part of transmission in a pedicab.
I often wonder if the 22t to limit torque was a fabricated tale, because SA didn't make any larger than that.
My Supberbe has the 48t chain ring, my sports a 46t. I have two Twentys, one has a 46 the other a 44t, by hub date and other componets one is a '71 model the other a '72. It pays to have a bunch of cogs on a hook and some short pieces of chain laying around!
I mostly chalk it up to the eccentricity of the British. ;-)

i have seen the heron lamp brackets come up for auction on ebay from time to time... plus, oldroads may have them.
ReplyDelete Thom - kind of. They need to be screwed in very, very forcefully, or else they begin to gradually loosen and flop sideways when cycling on bumpy roads. Another issue is that the light is not very bright. I mean it's visible, just not as good as an LED. If I could find a better battery-operated light with the same aesthetic, I would be very happy.

My What a great job on your Sports. I have a rather beat up 73 Raleigh Sports and am longing for the day when the B68 aged saddle breaks in! My bike is the bronzish colour and I bought it for $50 from an old chap in Wenatchee WA after advertising on Craigslist. It has cheap gumwall tyres and I would love to find a source for the cream Schwalbes. It seems that most sites are out and just have the black. I have always loved Raleighs since growing up in England in the 50s and 60s. Hard to find old ones on the Washington State though unless one lives in Seattle. Seems like New England is the place for a threespeeder to be! Thanks again, Your site was a great discovery!
ReplyDelete How is it that something as innocent as following a blog can cost me money? ; )
I LOVE the way those cream Schwalbes look on your bike! I clicked on your link to their distributor last week and on Friday a round package showed up at the house.
I plan on installing these on Mrs. Kingsting's 1972 Superbe. I also picked up some imitation brown leather grips that should add to the already classy look of the bronze green bike.- AnonymousJuly 19, 2010 at 10:16 PM

Somebody stole my beautiful Blue Betsy almost 20 years ago and I've never stopped looking for her. I bought her brand new in 1974, Vancouver, BC. If you've got her bring her back, no questions asked.

Living in England, I rode bikes with lamp brackets like that from the late 1950s onwards. The standard front lamp took a type of 3-volt battery which I suspect is no longer made, consisting of two cylindrical zinc-encased cells in a cardboard sleeve, with one brass contact on top and the other at the front. The front one was in direct contact with the central terminal of the bulb, while the top one contacted the switch, the return being through the metal casing of the lamp. Due to oxidation and vibration, these lamps were not terribly reliable, but had the virtue of being instantly dismountable as a preventative against theft. The standard contemporary rear light took a single U2 zinc-carbon cell, and was a sort of teardrop shape with a red plastic lens. It was permanently fixed to the right (in Britain) seat stay by a clamp. Again, reliability was not great. In about 1970, they introduced a law requiring rear lights to be powered by a 3-volt battery. British bicycle lights operated by batteries were never very satisfactory, nor were tyre-driven dynamos. The Dynohub was much better, but was phased out far too soon.

Great post! Like many, I've been reading your blog for some time; very inspiring. I took up riding again last year, at age 44, after a 30-year layoff. I bought a modern (Trek) aluminum cruiser and I've been riding it ever since. I love it, but I've read so much about old 3-speeds that I got the bug for one. And I finally have one - an old Schwinn Speedster, complete with working Sturmey-Archer AW hub, that's been abandoned, shackled to the rack in front of my building for the last three years. It needed rescuing; I couldn't stand seeing such a nice old bike waste away to rust any longer. But it was in pretty good shape overall. It's up the road in my local bike shop, getting tuned up and having old, worn parts replaced. It'll be ready this weekend. I'm really looking forward to it!

This blog influenced my bike purchasing decision – both this thread and the one about Vintage vs Modern.
I was after a genuine Dutch bike, a quality brand like a Gazelle or Batavus and of a "city" style. They cost big big money to buy new – more than I could justify spending, but I am well aware that bikes of that quality can last for a century if looked after.
I had a look in the FridayAds back in June and I saw a large frame 3 speed Batavus Barcelona for sale. It was basically sound and was certainly in rideable condition, but it needed a little TLC to really bring it to life. I went down to Brighton, bought it, put it onto my roof rack and brought it home to Maidstone.
The bike's previous owner had been living in York for several years, where it is very flat. High gearing is fine there. But having moved to Brighton the steep hills were making it almost unrideable – even 1st gear was set to a long legged 47 Gear Inches with the 44t front crank. I took it into my LBS and they swopped out the 19t rear sprocket for a 22. It only just fits – any bigger and it would have needed a new/longer chain. The work has geared the bike down by about 16% and has transformed it into a practical workhorse for local conditions. Gearing is now 1st 40 GI; 2nd 55 GI, 3rd 75 GI and this will get me around most places I'd ever want to ride.
I've fitted new pedals, a new gear trigger-shifter for the Sachs Torpedo hub, and a new snelbinder (that's what the Dutch call those purpose built elastic clip-on rack straps). The original front tyre was far too crumbly for my liking so I've put on a Schwalbe Marathon Plus to match the rear. The LBS trued my front wheel whilst fitting the tyre.
Whilst the wheels were off I repainted the steel mudguards – I used black Hammerite which isn't totally original but it will provide protection for years to come. And I removed the chaincase, and gave the chain a good brush down with white spirit then oiled it again – it had become quite stiff with many years accumulation of dirt and the lack of oil. The chaincase got a good scrub inside too.
AXA directly supplied two replacement clip-lock keys – the one that came with the bike was slightly bent just below the head and so is best used only as a reserve.
The maintenance section of bikeforums.net has been very helpful throughout and the project has given me more understanding of how a bike of this sort really works. My favourite LBS is The Bike Warehouse in Gillingham – they don't specialise in hub gear bikes but they are reliable and resourceful, and they are prepared to have a go at maintaining non-standard bikes.
I doubt I've spent over £250 on this purchase and the upgrades. I've ended up with a very solid, reliable, nice to ride commuter bike with plenty of character. It will be running well for years after a new £250 bike has fallen apart and gone to the scrapyard. I'm sure it's the only bike of its kind in Maidstone and there are probably only a few in the whole country. It has a continental chic to it and is full of solid Dutch practicality. It will be my "classic" for summer weekends and also my winter commuter workhorse – the roller brakes and the rugged 3 speed hub will make it ideal for that.
Here's a picture

Awesome post. Read it along with the vintage or modern post, which convinced me wholeheartedly to go vintage. My question is, is there a reason to go with the 3 speed over the 10 if i can find a 10 speed for a reasonable price? I will be doing city riding, and since I'm used to a 21 speed hybrid, i feel more comfortable with the idea of a 10 over a 3. Though I probably only use 6 of the gears, and 3 does sound lovely... just less used to the idea I guess... Thoughts?
ReplyDelete Yup, this blog has influenced me, the only downside is that while I could easily and quite happily spend between $200 and $300 on a vintage 3 speed Raleigh right now... I know I shouldn't! I can't wait until I can purchase an awesome bike like this guilt free. My hope is that I will still be able to find a 3 speed Raleigh for a reasonable price in about 6 years...
ReplyDeleteGlad I ran across this site. I purchased a 1968 green Superbe a few years ago and have waxed the paint a few times and steel wooled the chrome. I need to get it to a bike guy to give it a tune up and upgrade the tires and brakes so that I can finally ride it. It's a beautiful bike. I think I've figured out where I can lock it up when I take it to the grocery store. Need a nice basket to sit on the rear. This could be my ticket to becoming fit again...

Just found a 73 ladies Sports for $40 here in Wenatchee WA. It needs a lot of work but the frame is in good shape (green). I already have a men's coffee coloured 73 Sports. Now should I buy the white men's that is for sale at the same price? Might find it hard to rationalize with the Missus but it would be a good spares bike though I don't like the white colour too much. The green women's Sports will be my first bike project. If it looks half as good as Lucy I will be delighted!
ReplyDelete This is absolutely beautiful! I recently purchased a Humber 3-speed just like your lovely bike. My good friend is helping me fix her up :-) Fortunately he is an expert on all things cycling, as well as a sweet and patient man, so he will know exactly what to do to get her in good shape. I love the colour, that is what attracted me to this bike in the first pace - there was one awaiting restoration at our local bike co-op www.newarkbikeproject.org and I really wanted it, but they are going to be fixing her up and they hope to get a good bid to help support the shop. I was so lucky to find this one on Ebay!There are also all sorts of Humber memorabilia to collect, posters, etc. I love England and all things English so I was so pleased to get this bike :-)I am thinking of calling her "Lady Louise", after my lovely English friend. I happen to have n English wax jacket that is about the same colour, also, can't wait to take a rainy-day ride, it will be just like in England :-) Thanks so much for sharing this, and I love your site and blogs as well! ~Angela

ReplyDelete I recently came into an English 3 speed that defies all attempts to identify the age. It is a Warwick. It looks exactly like this bike, from the frame down to the fenders. Does anyone here know of any Warwicks from this period, or if they were bought out by Raleigh.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThe only Warwick Cycles I know of were an American manufacturer, that I am pretty sure was no longer active by 1970. Post pictures of your bike if you can.
DeleteI don't know how to post photos here, I put some up on my Facebook page. The bike has made in England all over the place. Front badge says made in Birmingham, on the seat tube it says Guaranteed Made In England, small print
DeleteThe SA hub may be dated to 1954. I don't have much experience with these hubs so I may be reading this wrong but a 54 should be just that.

My daughter is a high school senior, and since she is drawn to the aesthetics of old three speeds (and thanks to the advice on this blog), I've purchased a Raleigh Sport for her to use as a campus bike next year at NC State University. (I mention the school to point out that she'll be riding a Raleigh in Raleigh.) The '77 Raleigh Sport I got off of CL already came with cream Schwalbe Delta Cruisers (the previous owner read this blog too), and I plan on lowering the gearing with a 22T cog, since there's a moderately steep hill between NCSU's main campus, where she'll be living, and its centennial campus, where she'll be studying textile design. As for the brakes, the back wheel has a coaster, and the front wheel has a side pull. For safety, I'd like to increase the bike's stopping power, so I'm going to replace the front wheel with a pre-built alloy wheel from Harris Cyclery (and also change the brake pads to Koolstops). My question is: Would it be OK to change the front wheel to alloy but leave the back wheel steel (since it already has a coaster brake)? Rebuilding the back wheel would be much more expensive than simply replacing the front. Would the weight difference between the wheels cause handling problems? I seem to recall that a writer of another blog (I forget which one but she was a woman in the Northwest) mixed wheels in this manner and didn't mention any ensuing problems. (Please excuse the vagueness that comes from middle-aged memory.)
P.S. I love this blog. Thanks to Velouria for creating this great resource, and to the many readers that leave informative comments. - AnonymousJune 14, 2013 at 5:47 AM
I have a 74 men sports just like that one with the dynohub and the lights are great and super easy. I think these bikes have to be one of the best commuting bikes ever built, I think
ReplyDelete Great article, I am definitely putting your tires and brakes in a list for parts to get in the future. I am running a '58 Raleigh Sports ladies bike that had been abandoned for 20+ years outside at the University of Michigan. After rescuing it, I attacked it with WD-40 and realized that I only needed new rubber. Even the dynohub worked!
P.S. does anyone know how to unfreeze a 3 speed hub? I can currently only access 2nd and 3rd gear but 3rd gear is like neutral for me, so that leaves only one speed, heh.Just reading, coming to this a bit late! But as a big English dork I feel compelled to say some of the earlier Raleighs and variants use special brake cables with bits on the end (there's more in Sheldon) that you can't just replace because they've been obsolete forever. you really want to keep those going unless you replace the brakes and it's a right pain!

Interesting comments. I like the old Raleigh Tourists including the loop frame step-through versions. At Easter we picked up a black Raleigh loop frame bicycle with rod brakes and a fully enclosed chain guard. It has the longer steering head with the original Sturmey Archer 3 or 4 speed shifter having the little window showing H, N, or L. The rear hub is stamped 1956 - 9 . It`s all original including the red and gold pinstripes. Pedals are the original re-buildable ones with the nuts holding in the pads .The chain guard is also the original oil bath type with the little brass oil cap at the back. The wheels are Dunlop 28 inch rims and the spokes all have the razed Raleigh `R` on the hub end of the spokes. The frame loops are also joined in the middle with the small frame tube. These bikes also had tighter dimension handlebars as measured from one side to the other and this bike has the original black handgrips in great shape. The leather seat is a ladies Lysett ,fully springed and in great shape. We intend to keep it all original as is possible, unmolested. Just a different perspective. Thanks

Gambler's 4" Ugly Otter is fast becoming a bait that bass anglers worldwide must have in their arsenal. Gambler designed the bait with two small paddles on the side and one large paddle on the end. The paddles move through the water creating a commotion that any bass can sense, even in the thickest grass or heaviest wood cover. The smaller paddles on either side of the bait can be cut down the middle to add even more action. The Otter is deadly when punching grass mats because it draws attention in tight spaces, and combined with the garlic scent it's irresistible to an inactive bass. When punching mats, a hard popping action allows the bait to flutter back down though the grass, drawing attention even in the most dense structure. Gambler has a wide variety of colors to choose from that are effective in the darkest muddy water to the clearest water situations. Whether flipping to heavy cover or pitching to isolated targets, the Ugly Otter is a bait that will flat out catch fish.

Comments: I was fishing today with an Otter set up and lost a 3 or 4 lb. I tried to yank it on shore with a crank bait rod. The fish wiggled off the hook bounced off the rock next to me and a fell back in about 8 feet of water. I cast the Otter out again and slowly ran the lure by that spot the fish fell into. That same fish I guess grabbed the Otter and I waited for 25 seconds to make sure the fish had the lure. Unfortunately same exact results. Buy Gamblers Ugly Otter and don't go jig fishing with a crank bait rod !!!
From: Paul: Nash, TN 4/29/15
Comments: awesome bait, super versatile, great scent. I Ike throwing it on a half ounce tungsten around pretty much anything besides mats. It slides through cover well but not as smoothly as the why not. I've caught tons of fish on this bait. I really like the flapping action it has. It just drives the fish nuts. Great bait definitely a must have.
From: Leo: VT 1/7/15
Comments: Flip it, pitch it, drag it, or on a trailer, this bait does it all! All the colors work, but get some for each type of water. Blacks and blues for muddy, greens for clear or tinged. My new go to flippin bait!
From: Max: Burlington, VT 17/15
Comments: These are excellent baits. One tip I can recommend is to cut the tails and arms along the seems, this gives them even more action than they already have.
From: Garreth: Cape Town
Comments: I have used many "beaver" style baits but the paddle tails on the Otter seem to have a unique action that just works. I usually use them on a shaky head but have also used as a jig trailer, and on a Jika rig-the latter has tons of swimming action. Great in rocky clear lakes and in flooded brush. My only gripe is that they don't hold up all that well, a fish or two and usually your bait is gone. They do catch quality fish though and lots of good colors...definitely recommend them.
From: Jeremy: Rockaway Beach, Mo. USA
Comments: DON'T BUY THESE. I want them all to my self!! Best bait i have ever flipped in my life. Numerous fish 4-5 lb range.
From: Ed: NY
Comments: Rig a Green Pumpkin Shadow Ugly Otter on a 3/8 to 1/2oz Fintech Titleshot Jig. I drag this over a rock point that starts in 3 feet of water and tapers to 15 feet of water. The bass just thump it! I love rigging this on a NorthStar Baits Alien Head Jig to flip and pitch shallow wood/logs/brush.
From: Rick: Saint Francis, MN
Comments: Picked a bag up after Chris lane took the classic....yeah I know. cliche... But dang these perform well! Black and blue works great on my slough. My old man kills it. T-rig with 1/8 oz. sinker. flip,pitch,wing, whatever you do. Throw it up on a pad. dribble if off onto the water...let it sink and hold on!!!
From: John: Kalispell, MT
Comments: Purchased two bags of these. When I opened the bag of Green Pumpkin Red, all of the appendages had been disconnected from the bodies. The other bag was Bowen's Silver, and it was fine - go figure??
From: TR: CA
Comments: Awesome bait. Strong smell but the durability isn't the best. Caught a dozen bass from 1 to 4 pounder. Even manage to catch a 20lb channel
Comments: Yep this bait is the real deal guys toss this guy in the ripe melon t-rigged without a weight and hold on tight!
From: Zach: Brown County, IN

The four-year appointment, which began 06 January 2007, runs through 2010.
Exhibition at Penn Museum 17 March 2007 through 16 June 2007
The architectural remains of ancient Rome were a major source of inspiration to renowned 18th century Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, whose remarkable etchings captured the melancholy splendor of "ruined Rome" as never before. Piranesi: The Grandeur of Ancient Rome, an exhibition of 60 of Piranesi's etchings, original prints from the 18th century, comes to the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, 3260 South Street in Philadelphia.

On Friday, March 9th at 6:30 p.m., Penn Museum and Museum Catering Company present an "Extreme Beer Dinner," a reception and three course dinner offered in the Museum's Lower Egyptian gallery and featuring some of Michael Jackson's selections of fine beers. Mr. Jackson, author of The Great Beer Guide, and the Pocket Guide to Beer, has selected beers branded "extreme" for their exotic flavors and power to thrill taste buds. Dinner reservations are $75; Museum members, $60. For reservations, call 215/898-4890.
07 MARCH 2007, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Of all the times in ancient Egypt's long history, the Amarna Period (circa 1353 to 1336 BCE) is one of the most intriguing. In little more than a generation, the religious, artistic, and political order of Egyptian civilization was radically altered—and then restored. Egyptologists continue to make important discoveries about this time—and to debate their meaning.
On Saturday, March 31, the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology hosts a gathering of prominent Egyptologists from two continents, offering a variety of perspectives on this revolutionary period. "Amarna: New Research and Discoveries in the Age of Akhenaten and Tutankhamun," a full day public symposium, is co-sponsored by Archaeology Magazine and the Center for Ancient Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.
23 MARCH 2007, PHILADELPHIA, PA—On 06 January 2007, the Embassy of Haiti in Washington, DC celebrated the 203rd anniversary of Haiti's independence, which also marks the birth of the first independent black nation and the only nation ever formed from a successful slave revolt. Penn Museum's Publications Department, in cooperation with photographer Andrea Baldeck, donated 500 copies of Baldeck's book The Heart of Haiti for distribution at the four-day gala. The book is a collection of 50 black and white tritone prints of photographs that Baldeck took while visiting Haiti several times in the 1980s and 90s. Baldeck's first experience of Haiti was as a volunteer physician at the Valley's Hôpital Albert Schweitzer in 1981. Moved by the resilience of its people, she returned as a photographer in the mid-90's and provided both Creole and English translations of Haitian proverbs to accompany her photographs.
02 APRIL 2007, PHILADELPHIA, PA—More than 250 people from several continents gathered at Penn Museum on 27-28 March 2007 for the annual Paleoanthropology Society Meeting. The two-day conference was held in the Harrison Auditorium, with a bustling afternoon Poster Session on Tuesday afternoon, when Paleoanthropology researchers presented their research in a more informal session. Topics ranged from fossil fauna in Zambia, to assessment of age at death in Neandertal dental remains, to consideration of an "optimal" speed for human running. Founded in 1992, the Paleoanthropology Society includes researchers who deal with human evolution through several fields: archaeology, physical anthropology, genetics, geology, and dating.

27 JUNE 2007, PHILADELPHIA, PA—The Rio Grande de Coclé in central Panama, subject to flooding during the region's rainy season, has had a long history of shifting its course. In the early 1900s, stories began to circulate of children playing marbles with gold beads found in the great river. It wasn't until the late 1920s, however, when large quantities of gold ornaments were discovered, that news of the phenomenon—a veritable "river of gold"—really began to spread. In 1940, a Penn Museum expedition excavated rich and remarkable evidence of a thriving, Precolumbian civilization that had inhabited the region more than a thousand years before.

Exploring Iran: The Photography of Erich F. Schmidt, 1930-1940, a new exhibition of more than 50 archival photographs from Iran, complemented by a representative sampling of ancient artifacts, including painted pottery, alabaster and copper/bronze figurines from the archaeological excavations at the Bronze Age site Tepe Hissar, opens at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology October 2nd through December 9th, 2007.

Schmidt, a young German archaeologist trained at Columbia University, was chosen to lead the groundbreaking expedition, which yielded surprising new evidence of a sophisticated Bronze Age culture and society that dates to about 4500 B.C.E.

Minnesota Timberwolves 2014-2015 News and Updates
4/8/15 - With a rich field expected to be available in the NBA Draft this summer, the Minnesota Timberwolves have to be hoping for at least one big win – the No. 1 overall pick in the draft lottery. ESPN's projections place the T-Wolves with the second highest odds of getting that coveted first pick, behind the N.Y. Knicks.
3/25/15 - It's gotten so bad for the Minnesota Timberwolves this season, they had to sign a player to a temporary contract based on his location – New York City. The T-Wolves, decimated by injuries, needed a player to suit up – and fast – for their game at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks; Sean Kilpatrick, who was playing for Delaware of the D-League, was able to get to the arena 45 minutes before tip-off to fill that mandatory eighth player spot on the bench.
… more
3/17/15 - The Minnesota Timberwolves will be looking to end their five game losing streak when they play against the Raptors on March 18. Some of the Timberwolves' current problems is simply due to a too-long injured player list, which is also affecting practices and preventing the players from getting adequate rest. For the most recent game against the Nets, the Timberwolves had only eight players who were healthy, and three of their starters were sitting out due to injury, including Kevin Garnett who missed his fifth game in a row. The team's high scorers were Kevin Martin, who had 23 points, and Zack LaVine, who had 20. Adreian Payne brought the Timberwolves ahead of the Nets, but it was short lived. Tickets to the game against the Raptors are still on sell, starting at $38.
3/11/15 - Another viral feel-good story out of Minnesota, this time involving the Timberwolves and a fan. Seems a teenage fan of the former Seattle SuperSonics – who moved to Oklahoma City in 2008 – wrote letters to the other 29 teams in the league, looking for a new team to back; the T-Wolves were the only one of the 29 to respond to him, sending him a letter and an autographed basketball.
3/4/15 - Currently on a three-game losing streak, the Minnesota Timberwolves have lost a game to the L.A. Lakers in the Western Conference standings. The T-wolves are now three games behind the Lakers, nd 33 ½ games in arrears of conference leading Golden State.
2/25/15 - Wins have been few and far between for the Minnesota Timberwolves, who remain one of the league's bottom-dwelling teams at the moment. But, the T-wolves are just two games behind the L.A. Lakers for the cellar of the Western Conference; as well, the team used last week's trading deadline to stockpile more draft picks for future use.
2/19/15 - He's coming back to where it all started for him, nearly 20 years ago. In 1995, the Minnesota Timberwolves took a lanky high schooler named Kevin Garnett with the fifth overall pick. Flash forward to the 2015 trade deadline, and KG is coming back to the T-wolves, after agreeing to drop his no-trade clause in his contract with Brooklyn.
2/4/15 - This season is turning into a nightmare for the Minnesota Timberwolves, who at the moment are the only NBA squad yet to crack the 10-win plateau. The T-Wolves are currently 8-40, five games behind their next nearest Western Conference rival, and have fallen in their last three straight.
1/28/15 - The Minnesota Timberwolves are one of three teams who have yet to break the 10-win plateau so far this season. The T-Wolves are 7-37 at this juncture of the season, which puts them a half game below the East's two lagging teams, New York and Philadelphia who are both 8-37.
1/21/15 - After snapping a lengthy losing streak against Indiana earlier this month, the Minnesota Timberwolves have dropped two of their last three, all on the road. The T-wolves' last win came last Saturday at Denver, where they prevailed 113-105 over the Nuggets.
1/14/15 - With their road win Tuesday night over struggling Indiana, the Minnesota Timberwolves broke a 15-game losing streak – a streak only equaled up to that point by New York's string of futility this season. Still, the T-Wolves are a far cry from where they were at this point last season.
1/7/15 - Buried in the midst of a 12 game losing streak, the Minnesota Timberwolves are a team in need of defensive work. The T-wolves are dead last in the NBA in points allowed per game (108.5), and are also 27th in rebounding (40.9 rebounds per game average).
12/17/14 - Veteran Ronny Turiaf underwent successful hip surgery earlier this week, which means the 10-th year player from Gonzaga will miss the remainder of the season for the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is not the first time Turiaf has been out for the T-Wolves; last season he suffered an elbow injury which limited him to 33 games.
12/10/14 - In a conference where hot teams abound (Golden State, Portland, Memphis, the L.A. Clippers), the Minnesota Timberwolves are as cold as the Minneapolis weather these days. The T-Wolves, at 4-16, have the worst record in the West, and the longest current losing streak (six games), as well as the lowest scoring differential in the conference as well (minus-10.7).
12/3/14 - With just four wins, the Minnesota Timberwolves now have the fewest victories in the Western Conference at this point in the season. While the offense is scoring a relatively healthy 100.8 points per game on average (good for 15th in the league), the league-worst defense (111.2 points per agme allowes per average) is killing the T-Wolves.
11/19/14 - It is becoming clear just what Kevin Love meant to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The T-Wolves are one of two teams with just two wins so far this season, the other being the L.A. Lakers.
11/12/14 - This week, the Minnesota Timberwolves will square off against Houston in the first regular season game in Mexico since 1997. The T-wolves were originally scheduled to play San Antonio last season, but a short circuit in Arena Ciudad de Mexico caused the game to be cancelled.
10/29/14 - After a close loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on opening night, the Minnesota Timberwolves rallied to win against the Detroit Pistons on October 30. The game quickly built up to the Pistons having a 19 point lead by the final period and the Timberwolves steadily and assuredly took back the game after that. This 97-91 victory was due in no small part to the efforts of Thaddeus Young who finished the game with 19 points and five rebounds. Young also broke past the tie of 88-88 late in the game by nailing a three-pointer. Mo Williams then hit a driving layup to push the Timberwolves to a 93-88 lead that let them coast until the finish. Being the biggest scorer on the team in the first two games, Young is proving to be the player to watch this season as the Timberwolves build their wins throughout the season. Tickets are available for upcoming games starting at $56.
8/26/14 - The 2014-2015 Minnesota Timberwolves schedule recently released, and the 82-game slate is lined with must-see matchups. The new-look T-Wolves will get their start on the road, with an Oct. 29 game against the Grizzlies in Memphis, while their home opener will be opposite Detroit on Oct. 30. All eyes will be on the Jan. 31 Timberwolves-Cavaliers game, when LeBron James and Kevin Love make their one and only appearance in Minnesota. Target Center will get some exciting superstar play, with Derrick Rose and the Bulls on Nov. 1, Kobe Bryant and the Lakes on Apr. 10, and fellow former T-wolves player Kevin Garnett visiting with Brooklyn on Mar. 16. Is Andrew Wiggins destined for a Rookie of the Year season? Find out with Minnesota Timberwolves tickets today!
Last year's campaign looked much like the Minnesota Timberwolves' previous 9—which isn't a good thing. For the tenth year in a row, Minny fell short of their preseason aspirations of making the playoffs in the West despite finishing with the league's third-best points per game production, and playing with the fourth fastest pace. Heading into the 2014 offseason, the Minnesota Timberwolves made the necessary changes to propel them from a good team in their conference, to a great team in the NBA.
Minny kicked off the offseason by hiring Flip Saunders as head coach, highly successful in his former years at Minnesota, and drafted UCLA's Zach LaVine at No.13 overall. By far, the biggest splash made by the T-Wolves in 2014 setting love free—Kevin Love, that is. The top power forward is officially a Cavalier, linking him up with LeBron James to instantly create a playoff-ready Cleveland team. In return, the Timberwolves are getting No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett from Cleveland, as well as Thaddeus Young from Philadelphia. The Target Center squad is now in an exciting rebuild-mode, with a shining core of young players that will develop into formidable threats in the West. Buy your Minnesota Timberwolves tickets now and see this new-look team for yourself!
2013-2014 Season
4/18/14 - Nearly everyone who played scored in double figures for the Minnesota Timberwolves in their season-ending game with Utah – but in the end it was the Jazz who were victorious in double overtime, 136-130. Only Gorgui Dieng (four points, but seven boards and two blocks) and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (0 points off the bench, but one rebound and one assist) failed to tally double figures for the T-wolves, who got 36 points from Kevin Martin. Kevin Love had yet another double-double – nearly a triple-double – on 19 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists; Ricky Rubio chipped in 14 points, and Corey Brewer added 11 points. For the reserves, Ronny Turiaf chipped in 12 points, eight boards, and three blocks; Dante Cunningham collected 13 points; Robbie Hummel had 10 points and nine rebounds; and Alexey Shved had 11 points to round out the scoring.
4/14/14 - At exactly .500 – 39 wins and 39 losses – if the Minnesota Timberwolves were in the East, they would have locked up a playoff spot by now. As it is, they are 10th in the uber-competitive West, and will not be in the postseason. The T-Wolves fell at home to Chicago 102-87 on April 9; while everyone who played scored at least two points, just three players – starters Kevin Love (17), Ricky Rubio (15) and reserve Ronny Turiaf (11) – were able to break double-figure scoring. Love combined his points with 10 boards for a double-double; Gorgui Dieng, who had just nine points, made his presence felt in other ways, combining eight rebounds with three blocked shots.
4/7/14 - If they were in the Eastern Conference, they would be a half game up on Charlotte. But the Minnesota Timberwolves are out of the running in the Western Conference playoff chase, so the best they can do is play spoiler – a role which they played to perfection in defeating Memphis, 102-88, on April 2. Kevin Love notched a triple-double for the T-wolves, racking up 24 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists, along with one steal and one rejection; Gorqui Dieng nearly had a double-double, scoring eight points and clearing nine boards. Kevin Martin broke through the 20-point plateau as well for Minnesota, with 21, while Ricky Rubio had 14 points, seven assists, three rebounds, and three steals.
3/28/14 - As Samuel Clemens once wrote, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics." Case in point: the Minnesota Timberwolves. The T-wolves are fourth in the NBA in points scored per game, sixth in assists per game, and eighth in rebounding per game…but 24th in the league in points allowed per game. All this adds up to a .500 record, and also-ran status in the highly competitive Western Conference. The T-wolves did win their most recent contest, 107-83, against the East's #8 squad, Atlanta, led by Gorgui Dueng's double-double of 15 points and 15 rebounds. Kevin Love also had a double-double, combining 14 points and 12 boards, while Ricky Rubio dished off 10 assists.
3/21/14 - Despite a 20-20 double-double (22 points, 21 rebounds) from rookie center Gorgui Dieng, and 29 points from All Star Kevin Love, the Minnesota Timberwolves didn't have enough weapons to stop slow-starting Houston on March 20, 129-106. In addition to his team high scoring, Love also contributed six rebounds, five assists, a steal, and a pair of blocked shots; point guard Ricky Rubio contributed eight dishes to go along with five points. The night before, against Dallas, Rubio notched his third triple-double of of his career, racking up 22 points, 15 assists, and 10 boards in the T-wolves' 123-122 overtime win over Dallas.
3/14/14 - Even though the team has been alternating wins and losses over their last five games, the Minnesota Timberwolves are 7-3 in their last 10, and with their 112-101 come from behind win at home in the Target Center over East cellar-dwellers Milwaukee, have moved to just 5 ½ games out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Kevin Love (26 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, three blocks) and Ricky Rubio (11 points, 10 assists, three steals) had double-doubles for the T'wolves; while Kevin Martin went for 26 points and J.J. Barea added 19 points in the winning effort for Minnesota.
3/10/14 - It gets pretty bad when the New York Knicks break their extended losing streak against you, but that's just what happened to the Minnesota Timberwolves on March 5. Even though all five T'wolves starters broke double figures in scoring, led by Kevin Love's 19, and Minnesota outscored New York in the paint 48-38 and out-rebounded the Knicks, 47-39, the Timberwolves just had no answer for Carmelo Anthony's 33 points, and the Knicks used a 17-4 run to put Minnesota away.
3/3/14 - Winners of four out of their last five games, the Minnesota Timberwolves' most recent victim was Phoenix. Kevin Love led all scorers, exploding for 33 points, 13 rebounds, nine assists (nearly missing a triple double) and even a pair of blocked shots for the T'wolves. Shabazz Muhammad added 20 points in a reserve role for Minnesota; Ricky Rubio handed out 11 assists as well. Off the court, Ronny Turiaf is being listed as out indefinitely with a right knee bone bruise discovered by an MRI on February 23. Turiaf suffered the injury in the T'wolves February 22 win over Indiana.
2/21/14 - Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves had a productive All Star weekend. Although he failed to win the three point contest, finishing in the middle of the pack behind winner Marco Balinelli; during Sunday's All Star Game, Love played 33 minutes in the West's losing effort, chipping in 13 points and nine rebounds. After the break, though, Love lit up the East's leaders, Indiana, for 42 points and 16 boards in a big 104-91 win over the Pacers. Ricky Rubio contributed 17 assists and seven rebounds for the Timberwolves' effort.
2/11/14 - Some good news, some not so good for the Minnesota Timberwolves: The good news is that Kevin Love, already selected as an All Star starter for the West, will also participate in the Saturday night slam dunk contest. Love is listed as day to day on the T-wolves injury report, nursing a bruised left quadriceps muscle. The bad news: The T-wolves were manhandled by Houston earlier in the week, 107-89. Head coach Rick Adelman has missed the last several days, including the loss to Houston, for personal reasons; filling in for him was assistant Terry Porter.
2/4/14 - Representing the Minnesota Timberwolves in this month's NBA All Star Game in New Orleans as one of the Western Conference's starters, power forward Kevin Love is having the best year of his career so far. Love, a product of UCLA, is averaging a double-double, scoring at an average of 25.5 points per game clip while clearing 13.1 rebounds per game. Point guard Ricky Rubio is averaging 8.2 assists per game and 2.6 steals per game for the T-Wolves.
1/21/14 - Minnesota Timberwolves are sitting with a 19-21 record, giving them enough time to improve their standing in the tough Western Conference before playoffs. On Saturday the TWolves beat the
to stop their three game losing skid, and they'll play Utah again tonight with hopes of a repeat victory. Minnesota won't be back in Minneapolis until Jan 29 to take on
New Orleans
(get-in for just $2), followed by a Jan 31 game against
(get-in for $9). The Wolves will have to make the most of superstar
Kevin Love
(top five in NBA for scoring & rebounding), with even more rumors mounting about the
product's eventual departure from the team. Ricky Rubio is in a funk this year to boot; with high expectations entering the season as the unquestioned starter at point guard, the 23-year old is in desperate need of a spark to get his confidence back! It's crunch time now, but with less than half a season left, can the Wolves snap out of their late-game collapses? Score some Minnesota Timberwolves tickets and help this talented team get the job done!
After starting the season with three straight wins, the Timberwolves have slipped up in the last couple weeks and are now 5-3, but the squad is still on track for a winning season and one of the best starts in franchise history. Recently, the Timberwolves paid a visit to Staples Center, where they defeated the Lakers by a large margin (113-90) and lost to the Clippers by a slight one (107-109). Coming up are some of Minnesota's most eagerly awaited games: Nov 22, the Wolves will host the Brooklyn Nets, toting former T-wolves center, Kevin Garnett. The next day (Nov 23) Minnesota will meet the Houston Rockets on the road, who are now coached by previous Timberwolves' GM and coach, Kevin McHale, a man that brewed up bad blood with the organization after the illegal contract scandal with Joe Smith a decade ago.
The Timberwolves are looking to get back to their first postseason since 2004 and will do so under the leadership of 2x NBA All-Star Kevin Love. Another former UCLA Bruin will play for Minnesota this season; small forward Shabazz Muhammad was added to the Minnesota Timberwolves roster this offseason. Also a first round pick, Gorgui Dieng from Louisville was selected. The most expensive game this season at Target Center will be played against the Lakers on 3/28 (avg. $352). The Timberwolves have lost 22 games straight to the Lakers; this end-of-March matchup will be the final of the season for the two teams. The 2/4 matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers at home is averaging much less, $153.
2012-2013 Season
3/6/13 - Since winning the National Basketball Association's old Midwest Division in 2005 before a round of realignment, the Minnesota Timberwolves have undergone a gradual decline, culminating in three consecutive fifth-place finishes in the current Northwest Division, which they share with Oklahoma City, Denver, Utah, and Portland. Forward Kevin Love is the T-Wolves offensive leader, tops on the team in scoring average and rebounding despite only playing about a third of the team's games due to injury; while Spanish star Ricky Rubio has shown himself to be quite effective at the point, leading the squad in assists and steals. Also contributing offensively is former Utah Jazz star Andrei Kirilenko; along with Nikola Petkovic and Luke Ridnour. Coming off the bench to provide support are J.J. Barea, Dante Cunningham, and shot blocker Greg Stiemsma. Coach Rick Adelman has to work on his team's scoring and points allowed, both of which are in the bottom half league-wide. While the T-Wolves are improved over the last couple of seasons, they still have some work to do to get back to respectability.
At the beginning of the season, Minnesota Timberwolves tickets were the cheapest in the League, averaging $41, just about 1/3 the cost of average
tickets. All Timberwolves games are averaging under $100 with cheap Timberwolves tickets available for $30 or less. Lakers Timberwolves tickets are two of the three most expensive games on the MN Timberwolves schedule at $94 (2/1) and $93 (3/27). On the road, MN Timberwolves tickets average double that of
Target Center

Castelli Leggero Vest $0.00
Reviews & Community
What do you think of the
Castelli Leggero Vest
? Share a...
Great vest
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
For those cool morning rides (55-65F) It is a great fit and has minimal flapping in the wind. It fits easily in jersey pockets when it warms up. Be forewarned though, very basic not much to it, but very functional.
This thing is tiny!
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I did not pay sufficient attention to the size chart, disbelieving that a XXL could measure a chest size of just 43. But trust me, it runs small.
I usually take an XL, so I thought a XXL would be fine. Boy was I wrong!
The XXL in the Leggero fit like a L in just about anything else.
John Heineken
Poor quality zipper
I own a lot of Castelli gear. Castelli offers arguably the greatest lineup of performance cycling clothing in the world.
But the -cheap- poor quality zipper on this otherwise good looking and well-designed featherweight-packable vest is not up to the job. The soft nylon teeth derail and then jam incessantly! This zipper is beyond fiddly! Frustrating! Now the teeth are bent/deformed and the zipper works even worse.
In addition, the vest I received suffered from poor (missing) stitching at the bottom and the wrist hems. This is unacceptable from Castelli -at any price. Come'n Castelli!
UPDATE: The new Castelli "Velo" vest (and jacket) is the replacement for the Leggero vest (and jacket) and has addressed these issues. Buy the Velo vest instead.
John's comments about Castelli zippers is right on. While I don't have this vest, I have a Castelli jacket that I had to replace the zipper on in this than a year. In all fairness, the tailor indicated that most zippers to today are plastic junk--they need to use metal zippers for durability. But try to find those.......

exactly what I was looking for
Instead of my usual medium in cycling clothing, I am a large in Castelli. I?m 5?9?, 140 lbs. with skinny arms and a 36?-37? chest and the large fits good. The medium looked and felt tiny. Be warned that this vest is also designed to be quite short in the front regardless of the size. So even my size large which looks perfect in the length on the back and through the chest is short in the front. That?s just how this vest is supposed to be. This short length in the front is for when you?re in the aero position so don?t worry about how it looks when you?re standing up. Also, you sacrifice pockets for a mesh back but it?s well worth it. I have a cycling jacket that doesn?t have a mesh back and you get way too hot very fast. You gotta have the mesh back for venting. The Leggero vest is made of an ultra-light material that folds up teeny-tiny. It comes with a palm-sized carry pouch that amazingly holds the vest. However, I don?t use it. I just fold the vest up and put it in a jersey pocket but it?s nice that they included the bag. I got this vest for days that start cool where you?re maybe also wearing arm and knee warmers but will probably take all or some of that off at some point. This vest is perfect for that situation and with it I don?t need to wear a base layer. It?s excellent for the weather we have here in SW Florida. The vest provides decent warmth and wind protection but not too much and it?s easy to stow. My only complaint is that I could do without the two way zipper. I never use it and it causes me occasional annoyance. If we could give half star ratings I?d give the Leggero vest 4 � stars but since that?s not an option I?m going with the 5 stars. To summarize, pros: mesh back, very lightweight, designed for cool (not cold) days, easy to stow, highly visible (bright yellow color). Cons: odd sizing, about an inch or two short in front, two way zipper (although some people might like the zipper). Overall I recommend it especially if you can buy it on sale.
Good buy
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Nice vest. Very light, compact and indeed wind proof. Sizing is always a gamble. I am about 195 pounds/5.11 height. I tried all sizes from XXL to L, but ended up keeping XL. However, I am XXL in Castelli bibs. My only complain is that the vest does not have back pockets, so you ended up stuffing your under jersey pockets which is not super comfortable but manageable. Use it in the early fall with a pair of arm warmers when using long sleeve jersey is an overkill. Great flexibility.
Great fit, super light
Best vest I've owned so far. I'm 5'9" with a 39" chest and the L is a perfect fit: very snug but not constrictive. I hate it when vests flap in the wind so I wanted the "race" fit. Once it's on over my jersey I hardly even know it's there. It's even fairly snug (but not tight) around the neck, so there's far less wind that sneaks in through up top. And as others have mentioned, it rolls up incredibly small.
One other note on the fit: the arm holes are elastic and somewhat tight. Which I like; again, one less spot for the wind to sneak in. I've noticed that if you're standing it'll feel like the bottom of the arm holes are riding up into your armpits, and I was definitely nervous when I tried this vest on the first time thinking this was really going to bother me. However, once in the saddle in the crouch position I've experience no discomfort whatsoever.
fantastic visibility
Purchased the chartreuse vest, not so much for the wind protection, but for visibility when riding on rural roads here in the desert. I've noticed that traffic now gives me plenty of room when they pass. Only drawback is that the cool graphics on my new jerseys are hidden by the vest. Oh well, I'd rather be safe to ride another day.
The vest will ride up a wee bit in the rear if you have your jersey pockets stuffed with the normal things, like a spare tube, identification, house keys, camera, nutrition, etc. Doesn't ride up too much.
Great vest - Highly recommend
I got the yellow in XL. The sizing is definitely true to Castell - you will want to size up. I am 5'10, 180lbs and the XL is perfect. This is a lightweight vest, but perfect in a light chill. It blocks the wind very well. The yellow is very bright and will no doubt make you more visible on the road. Be safe out there!
Nice and light but be careful on the sizing
Nice looking vest, and super light. However, what is with Castelli's sizing these days ( both in bibs and tops)? I have never worn anything but Large with Castelli over the years and a large in this is more like a regular castelli medium. Definitely size up- I should have but decided to wear it, It doesn't really give much due to the fabric.
One cool feature is that is packs down to an included zippered bag for easy packing in your jersey pocket.
It does fit a bit short as others have said, particularly in the front, so it is not a vest that you can really use for running or other sports which is kind of a bummer.
Light and Easy
Nice vest. Really light yet is great on those chilly mornings for blocking wind then shedding off when the weather warms. Very easily packaged into a small puck size which takes up little room in your jersey pocket. I would have given it 5 stars but the color black I ordered isn't quite a true black. More of a dark dark brownish black. Anyone else experience this with the "black" option?
What you expect for the price
Nice, super light weight as I was after. rolls up to fist size and great for jersey pocket when not needed
Sizing per the chart is accurate
Height = 184cm
Chest = 102cm
Waist = 83cm
Weight = 81kg
After looking at the reviews I decided to size up from L (per sizing chart) to XL.
XL is a comfortable fit with room to move and fine for social riding. An L would have been a perfect aero fit which would have been preferable, but based on the price, postage back and forward to Australia would not have made it viable to return.
It is very light weight so requires care when using.
White colour is semi transparent and jersery is visable.
A real dissapointment.
I'd been eying this vest for a while and eventually purchased it. Though I like the look of it I have to say that the quality of this item is subpar. My zipper bust after two rides and the seams are poor.
John Heineken
My zipper was of poor quality as well (i.e., cheap). Use the zipper on this vest very carefully!
worth it!
short in front and trim fit. if your not italian...size up (5'11", 178 lbs: XL fits me perfect). well specked and well built. stuffs to the size of 3 wadded up kleenex. sure beats shoving newspaper in your jersey front for the descent. Great value.
Ditto with everyone else here, also the pricepoint is great for what you get.
Two way zipper?
From the image it appears...
Two way zipper?
From the image it appears to have a two way zipper. It that correct?
Chris Kelly
Highly recommend this vest
I love this vest. It is feather-light, yet blocks chilly breezes as well as my much heavier vest, while keeping my back vented and comfortable. Initially I bought the wrong size--a large (I'm 5'10"). Luckily RealCyclist had an xxl in stock & bent over backwards to facilitate the exchange. As Krikken says, it's easily rolled and stored when you take it off.
Great product, great store.
what's your weight? I'm 5'11 165lbs and not sure whether a medium or large would work best
Too short for a tall guy
I'm 6'4", 195 lbs and I had to return the XL because it was too short.
Ken Richard Lyngstad
Light and neat
Very light and neat, easily rolled together and put back in your rear-pocket. It hardly takes space at all, and when wearing it it gives excellent protection against the wind.

Seba Playground
Seba Playground will be closed to reconstruct the current Seba Tot Lot into a playground for children of all ages. The new design will enlarge the toddler area by adding a custom spray shower, seating, and two new tot play units. Additional play spaces will also be added for 5 to 12 year olds, and will include a large accessible play unit, a second spray shower and seating area. These two play areas will be joined by 15 additional swings for both age groups. The site will also feature an accessible drinking fountain, attractive plantings, and a bicycle rack.
