How ridiculously stupid would it be to go and buy a pair of Rapha bibshorts tomorrow and wear them for a 600km audax on Saturday.
If you can wear them on a few rides (even commutes) between now and then then you should get away with it. That should flag up any major problems.
I did a 1200km ride on a (Brooks) saddle I'd ridden a whole 50km on and, in fact, the entire bike was that brand new too. Luckily it fit.
Ha, I bought my first roadbike a day before a 1600KM cycling trip. Finetuned it on the way.
Very good :-)
So I have just been to Condor and been rinsed for a new pair
