Bibs & B@@bs

[SadieKate]

Love bibs even with my somewhat generous boobage. I like Castelli's women's because the straps are attached to come around the sides rather than over the tender bits. TE has these (and maybe on sale?).

Assos bib knickers go up the center to avoid the same parts (we had lots of fun with that one!).

Assos also makes what they call a bib short but is actually more of a sleeveless skinsuit. These were my anniversary gift this year but I haven't had a chance to wear yet it being maybe 50 degrees here.

I would be leary of men's bibs unless you try them on. You may not like the location or length of the straps and the pad may be the wrong shape. However, it should be pretty easy to find a pair to try.

Isn't PI now making a women's bib again? I have a couple pair of their prototypes from several years ago and the straps go over the tender bits. Not the best design. They may have fixed this.

Okay, now that's just creepy. My husband got me that Assos skinsuit thing for our anniversary, too! (I think he was channelling the pic from their ads!)

It looks totally cool (I am veritably boob-less, though, despite my linebacker shoulders). I also have not had a chance to wear it - wearing longer tights as well. And also, I hesitate to wear that on any super long ride because it seems like a pain in the neck when you stop and pee!

Ooh, two Sarahs in matching Assos skinsuits in northern Calif? Sounds like the Twilight Zone!

How many years for you? 18 for us on Jan 2, the beginning of the tax year. Durn it, if I have to pay Uncle Sam to be married to Bubba I want the benefit of the entire year.

Very Twilight Zone!!

It was 11 years for us Nov. 5. Last year (for the big 10), the gift was my Eddy Merckx. The Scandium Anniversary. I don't own much (any?) jewelery!

(...) The Scandium Anniversary. I don't own much (any?) jewelery!

What's scandium? I don't think I own any of it either, and if it's s'posed to be the 11th I'm way overdue! Just passed 30. (And we started on a Friday 13th! ) 30 was s'posed to be pearls, but did I get any? Not. Oh well. Don't have the power suit to go with those anyway.

Hey we started on a Friday the 13th too! It must be good luck, because our 20th is this year.

Friday the 13th used to be a sacred day to the Northern Europeans. A day that honored the goddess Freya, and the 13th lunar month. I consider it an auspicious day, both in honor of my ancestors, and because my beloved nephew was born on a Friday the 13th! May it be a blessing to your marriages, although it sounds like you're doing very well on your own, thank you! Lise

Congrats on the 30! The Scandium Anniversary is sort of a joke. Like the Golden Anniversary or the Silver Anniversary, etc. Scandium is an alluminum alloy. It's a great ride!

I love how this thread went from bibs & boobs (can i actually write that out) to anniversaries...now where is the food?

Anyway...Congratulations to all of you!!! now i must go and revise the list of appropiate gifts...we are getting married in less than a month so this will be fun!

as for the bibs...i have decided it is worth a try but i want to at least pop into a shop and try on a pair before i commit...meanwhile i found a pair of tights that will get me by till the sales get REALLY good.
