_Daemon_ Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Not impressed... And I usually quite like FA stuff....had it for about 6 months now...probarly shorter and I have ripped a seam twice(HAHAHA they are the right size), the FA logo came off within the first week of having them, and they seem to wear through quite quickly on the inside of my legs close to the saddle... Will try capestorm matrix bibs next...or maybe splash out and go for Assos.
AndreZA Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Pheh!, luckily they did not have my size when I was shopping. Ended up with Cape Storm Matrix bib and went back the month later to get a second pair. BTW, it's cheaper to buy from a bike shop then the concept store.
Red Zone Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I rode the Epic on Matrix Bibs, absolutly faultless, great strong fabric, good construction, good fit and comfortable. No need for assos in my opinion. And had a big stack and the material survived. PPA members 10% discount.

Mark C Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I've tried them on and they don't seem to fit quite right. Guess it's just the way they're cut... Went for the trusty Anatomic bib.
Marius Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I got a pair of CapeStorm Bibbs and I have to say the SUCK! The pad is to small and the thing is scaving cm's off my ass!
Red Zone Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Marius how old are your bibs, the old ones where apparently realy uncomforatable with bad padding, the new ones are a substantial improvement
Marius Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 they are still new (2months), only had them on a few times, I try to avoid them as much as possible cuz it's not easy getting into the bath with raw spots on my butt. Lucky I got 2pairs of Assos, I think CS should have a look at that pad and do the same.Marius2007-08-15 06:49:43
RodTi Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Oh great... 3(?) bibs - 3 different opinions! Been looking at getting some new bibs - and was toying between the Cape Storm and First Ascent... Oh shoot.Hello Anatomic....?
Dicky DQ Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Try the Prorace, feels like you are wearing too little and that the shammy is too thin, but my goodness they are cool and look after your ass.
Lilo Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 M is used to his Assos.. so dont know how anything else will satisfy him!! He hates those CS bib!! And i nogals like mine...
Thug Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Recently bought myself some of the CS Matrix bibs. Needed a couple of washes before they had bedded in properly but seem to very comfortable. Also have the Pearl Izumis, also comfortable.
AndreZA Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 so dont know how anything else will satisfy him!! And he is still with you? Guess you are in the same league as assos then.
Gman1834 Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Same here. Recently bought myself some of the CS Matrix bibs. And i must say very nice. Must say they are my first bib?s, I like the low cut in the front, makes a pit stop a lot quicker. Sorry to much info. I just had to share.
