Bib shorts

that may be the plan. I just got two new pairs of shorts on sale from TE. so I may not need any for a bit.

I LOVE bibs on the road (not so much on the dirt or the trainer). I don't think you could convince me to go back to anything with a waistband on the road bike again!

The first thing I noticed immediately was that I could wear a size smaller because there was no longer a poorly placed waistband (I'm short, so they almost always land too high) squeezing my organs!!

My two pairs of bib shorts are both local store team prints and are mens XS, and my tights are Gore windstopper womens S. I wish I'd seen that Chainlove special - that's less than I've paid for any of them!

Hugs and butterflies,

I have both.
I find bibs are great for racing in, and great in winter (warm back)
But I tend to avoid bibs on hot days...

I still want Assos bibs...

I finally got these white knickers and they appear very true to size, except they are a bit too long for me. The quality is very good, the upper portion is a very similar cut to the Assos bib knickers though at first glance, not as good a quality in fabrics. Keep in mind it's not a knock, as Assos fabric goes beyond the scale.

The chamois is a soft leather (or amazing facsimile, can't tell) and the overall quality of the garment is exceptional.

I wish it fit!

Oh, one moe thing that kinda bugged me about the white ones.... The black area does a great job covering the buttage and front of the crotch. It looks good with a white jersey.

However, if worn with a black jersey, the upper front panel is white and will make you look like you have a white triangle above your crotch. Looks weird. (click on the link to see.)

If you have a super long black jersey, it might cover up the white part in front. Unfortunately, none of my black jerseys do that.

The description says the pad for those Nalinis is leather/microfiber.
