Contaminated Haggis Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 I have some pairs of Santini bibs but am looking at splurging on a new pair or two of either Assos or Giordana's. Any views and / or recommendations? dougaroony2008-10-09 09:17:09
intern Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 hmmm I have a few pairs of Assos, they are lekker expensive. Quite comfy - but I can't compare them to Giordana, never worn those. I have found Specialized bib shorts to be as comfy and a lot less costly, though....
niterider Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 My favourite are the expensive Vermarcs. The ones with the red chamois.
Contaminated Haggis Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 riding to Durban soon, first day is about 8 hrs in the saddle. Need some decent shorts to protect the danglies dougaroony2008-10-09 09:41:17
busch1 Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 To me Giordana feel just as good as Assos just cost less
Contaminated Haggis Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 To me Giordana feel just as good as Assos just cost less Spoke to a dude at my LBS and he said the same thing, but thought it might just be a sales pitch cos he doesnt stock Assos
intern Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 I reckon everyone should buy at least one pair of Assos to see what the fuss is about. Mine are definitely comfy; the one pair is better than the other - and it is the less expensive of the 2 which I find more comfy. Probably because the other one makes my crotch look like it is sporting a substantial moose knuckle (camel toe has an ugly sister). Which makes it hard to stop staring in the mirror and actually go ride. It also makes for a somewhat self-conscious sensation in public. You can almost feel those questioning eyes wondering why a man-crotch has as its most notable feature, a moose knuckle.intern2008-10-09 09:59:15

MAESTRO's Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 To be honest....I would not know!!!! WHAT About that koek-MY-moer guy.
intern Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Oh - and Vernon Koekemoer puts the MOER in Koekemoer, and NOT the KOEK!!
