i still can't wait to go to the LBS and try on some of the women's jerseys and shorts. i am so green and clueless about all of this. i do so appreciate all the helpful info you have offered to me personally and thru the message boards.
i did not have a waist until recentlyand am thin thru the hips as well. i have been eyeing the pearl izumi attack shorts based on some of your recommendations. i don't think my LBS carries this brand so i will have to order online. i have broad shoulders so this may pose a problem with the ladies jerseys but i will have a better feel for that once i am able to go to the LBS and actually try some of these on.
thanks once again for all your support/help/suggestionsencouragement that i've already received and i can't wait until i can FINALLY get on my bike and put this info to good use and have some stories of my own to share.

If you're broad in the shoulders and narrow in the hips, you'll probably be OK with the jerseys that have eleastic at the bottom. It's annoying when it rides up. I've also got broad shoulders and find that staying with set-in sleeves (rather than raglan) is my best bet. A word of caution on men's jerseys - they can be vary long. I had several that I finally gave away because I started biking before they made much women's stuff. The jersey catches on the saddle nose when I'm mounting. On a mtbike this can be dangerous.
