It will be tight when you stand up straight because when you're on the bike your crouched over. Don't worry it will stretch out.

The thing to remember when buying a suit is you have to take into consideration of leaving room for a back protector. Pic in your profile looks skin tight around your back.

The suit should fit snug all over. No bunching up anywhere. When standing it will feel too short from the neck to the crotch. When in a tucked position on the bike it will loosen up.

You should try on a suit with a back protector.

I like a little bit of extra room in case I have a few too many cheeseburgers and ice cream it still fits. My current, newest suit is snug now, when I hurt my lower back I gained a few lbs and sat around a lot. My old suit being really big and hence given the name "the fat suit" and why it comes in handy right now.
