Well they are lycra so they are pretty tight.
If you're in decent shape then it's easiest to size on height with bib shorts, I'm 5'11" and a medium fits well though if I were much taller I'd go for large. Hope that helps.

These are the same as yours I think:

The 32mm, 48mm, 60mm number is the valve length which will depend on how deep your rims are.
Off CRC, these will be fine:

Finally been out on my bike, first time since November (which is very poor I know!)
December was a bad month, my birthday being on the 3rd, the whole run up to Christmas and new year (beers after work every other day almost!) and the flu which saw me knocked for 6 for a good week.
Managed to bash out a quick 8.5 miles but took a really stupid route which saw me encouter at least 4 sets of traffic lights, a round about and countless yellow lines - managed to keep a moving average of 20.9 mph though so not too shabby.
I'm about 7kg heavier than I was at the beginning of October too down to a holiday in the good old USA with their mammoth sized portions of greasy crap food which tastes oh so delicious and Christmas and New Year over indulgence.
My cycling goals for this year is to get my weight down to under 90kg, my best last year was 92.3kg, do a 10 mile TT in under 26 minutes and compete in a full series of road races.

Sooo unfit after Christmas. Felt like spewing today just because I pushed it a little too hard which has never happened before.
It depends which shop your system uses. I don't believe Halfords will let you, for example.
Cheers guys... I'll see what the situation is north of the river but if all else fails I can travel south (shock horror) to Sigma. They seem to sell the bike I am looking at 
Anyone bought a bike from Sigma before? Do they give you good fitting advice?

oh boy here goes agin
YES ! I bought my bike from there, after looking for months ended up at sigma sport and i had an excellent service and excellent fitting, so i bought one, and its perfect fit
When you buy a bike at sigma they will measure you up and stick your details into the computer which spits out your specific geometry so they can get the right frame. They the use all those details when building your bike so it's made to fit from the word go.
Great service but try and go when it's a bit quieter.
