Assos worth the money? Or should in spend better?

[Thomo]

The first pair of Assos you buy is always the difficult one. After that you ask yourself why you waited so long!

 

Agreed.

And soon after you'll find numerous pairs in your cupboard.

Bit of a highjack. I bought a pair of Nalini bibs for a steal (R900) at the Nalini stall at the Cyclechallenge expo. They are there every year to sell stuff quite cheaply.

 

Great quality, and comparable to Assos and Satini and Giordana.

 

Problem is, I want to buy more of the same - at the same price :-)

 

Does anybody who they are/were. The local agents? Contact number please?

 

Thx

Ok, so got then home and unpacked and all..

 

Little samples of (ass)os cream and wash detergent... Not sure if I'm sold on only washing with that stuff... But nice to see in the pack. Also like the little wash bag to prevent stretching.

 

Sizing chart says L but shop said XL would be better thanks to my huge ass(os).

 

Tried both and agreed on XL, just out them on now and sat on the bike. Holy cow that chamois is amazing! Of course, it'll be proven after a good long ride this weekend, but must say, fit is superb. The one difference between the uno and the other bibs is the chamois is shaped on the higher models, vs flat on the uno. Don't know whether it's worth the upgrade.

 

But all in all, really impressed with the quality, presentation, and feel of the assos shorts... Really looking forward to having this kinda comfort on a ride! Now to pay the damn credit card off!

 

Thanks again for the input, really really appreciated guys.

 

Oh and just FYI for the readers here, Solomons have a clearance on the assos bibs, and they're not even the white ones! Best price I could find anywhere... FWIW..

For long distance (100km) my local local bib offers better protection than the Uno

Nope! Two black... Won't have to worry about kit for a good while now:)

Being in between sizes really sucks.!

Both fit, but neither perfect.

Always feel like you settling for the lesser of 2 evils.
