Italians have had a long history of being small. Pretty much everything from that country is small; try to find mens shoes in 12, or suits in XXL (which is still too small). Look at most of the cyclists from that country. Pantani is no giant (maybe he is to italian standards, who knows?) and you should see them play basketball!. Large italians are mostly to be found in Tyrolia, with a few exeptions in Sicily. Even the Coffee they serve is small!! So are biscotti!

Disclaimer: Matteo is of course exempt of all these stereotypes ...

greets, kim, who has a new orange faggin track bike in 48.5cm, Klakow
