well I'm an inch taller.. 50lbs heavier and have 44inch chest.. I wear XL which is baggy in the gut, but fine everywhere else. I could probably wear L if I had too.

Metric please! It is only the US, Burma and Liberia that don't use the metric system. It is insane!

183cm and 63kg.
I have thin and long arms.

S for Super Lightweight Jersey (Fits great)
M for Pro Team Jersey (Fits OK. I don't like it much tho)
L for Pro Team Jacket (A bit big, but M was too short for me)

Guys i really want to thank all of you for helping me! Really nice to know that there are people out there willing to help!
I got my Pro Team Jersey in the mail today and i finally get what all the Rapha hype is all about.
XS fits me really well. Seemed a bit small when looking at it, but the jersey is like a bit elastic that fits my body very well!
At 172-173 and 55-60 kg with a 82 cm chest this is the best fitting of all my previous jerseys!
I am very happy with my buy and if i had more money on hand i would get a lot more since it is on sale right now!

How does Rapha's sizing look like compared to Castelli?
Quite a lot of garments from Castelli in my wardrobe and 90% is XL.
I'm considering Pro Team bibs and jersey. 6.2" (188cm) rather bigger frame.
For that hight will you go for long or normal bibs length?

I'm 187 and wear XXL Rapha Pro Team bib shorts and XL jerseys. But that's something to do with my 85kg weight and beer belly. :)

pro team and castelli race stuff is probably the same (imho). i wear small castelli and small rapha pro team. rapha classic stuff is like half size up or club fit.

I've just ordered two sizes, but looking at your posture and how the L fits you well, there will be no no for L size for myself.
I'll see how the xl pans out.
