ToxicBunny Posted April 6, 2010 Share Giordana! Giordana! Giordana! Go and have a look at Cyclelab... Excellent place for all goodies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa C Posted April 6, 2010 Share My mate used giordana at epic this year and got serious saddle sores...ASSOS only way! Rather buy 3-4 pairs a of great brand and wash every second day then buy 9 pairs of lower quality... Any yes I do own 2 pairs of top Giordana body clone and mavic hellium and specialized RS10...they good but not good enough for long 8/9 day multi day events!! Just my 2c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou777 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Giordana, had one ride with mine thus far. Solid stuff! Got mine from local cycling store, I know Cajees have some (but they are pricey sometimes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blockhouse Posted April 6, 2010 Share I use Santini bib shorts with the Intech padding, great shorts for long distances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bontie Posted April 6, 2010 Share Have a look at Etxeondo too, if not better than Assos then just as good an a bit cheaper - Bruce Reyneke Cycles 012 3621628 or Singletrack Cycles - 012 8092123.I recommend you ride with different bibs as they seem to chafe and put pressure in the same spot - I will be riding Etxeondo and Assos mostly. See you there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou777 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Oh and always ASSOS, if you have the cash! Check CWC online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flex Posted April 6, 2010 Share Bibs are such a personal thing, what works for one may not necessarily work with someone else. Personally, I rate Assos as being in a league of their own. You get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewie911 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Look at slick. Saw them at cape argus expo. They have a seemless bib for around R2800 I think. Anybody use these. I got a jersey from them and really like the material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mornedn Posted April 7, 2010 Share I also rate ASSOS the best. See you at the J2C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bontie Posted April 7, 2010 Share Stewie - seamless is nice and comfy I suppose, but I have had a couple of seamless bibs (i.e. chanois glued onto fabric) where the glue did not hold out and I had to chuck often very expensive bibs in the bin... Good old thread is better in the durability contest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
