Evan Andreou Posted April 3, 2007 Share I mean' date=' I don't even buy clothes to that value in a year for myself [/quote'] Vasbyt reiterated the value of good shorts (Assos F1 uno in my case)It's worth the expense but I wear them sparingly which is why I ordered the CS matrix based on the review as an alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted April 3, 2007 Share My Ass takes the most beating on the bike, I think it's only fair it gets treated to the best Bibbs on the market. I'm going to take special care of them, only hand wash so they'll last a few years this time, I also don't like spending stupid amounts of money on cycling stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted April 3, 2007 Share I've come to the realisation that the more time you spend on your bike, the more you have to look after your Ass. So.... If I look into my crystal ball....... what do I see.......... Possibly Assos F1 Uno which seems an excellent compromise between the f#$kin ridiculous price of the F13 and the somewhat cheaper CS Matrix. And ....... a normal everyday pair of either PI's or CS Matrix. Talk about a grudge purchase !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I FLY Posted April 3, 2007 Share Has any tried Pearl Izumi bib shorts and Santini?I need to get a new pair of shorts and was considering these brands' date=' so any feedback would be welcome.[/quote'] I bought some PI shorts in July 06 when I was on a business trip. I am very happy with them. Have ridden all my audax rides, 24 hour ,etc with them. I have had no problems in terms of chaffing, sores etc. After nearly a year the shorts still look new and I wear them every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tour Posted April 3, 2007 Share The only way to know is to try them. I have a pair of Santinis and they are unwearable, but of course others love them so...... Problem with Assos is if you try them and they don't fit your A$$, your wallet is going to feel very empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hype Posted April 3, 2007 Share So Marius, when you get your bibs and they have skid marks in them you'll know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Andreou Posted April 10, 2007 Share Got my Capestorm Matrix last week,Excellent fit, good shammy, compares very well with my F1 uno(Assos) and at half the price a real bargain.The lower cut took a day to get used to but like Mampara said, certainly helps when nature calls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roaster Posted April 22, 2007 Share I have a pair of No Sweat bibs- the lycra feels tough and smooth and the pad is a blue 4-way pad (similar to the AdiStar pad). For about R400 I think it's a good buy. The bib sits a lot better than the strapless No Sweat shorts and the straps are vented. There aren't many panels, though.
