Assos

Picked up some of their cheap bibs (T.Mille S7 - £100 RRP, but online for £75) which I assume are their reaction to Rapha Core.

Seem very nice and came in a very pleasing if completely unnecessary box. Quite short in the leg which is good for short people like me.

Are these the shorts that shredded your arse?

No shorts shredded my arse. Although two pairs of Assos were involved, most of the blame falls on the overly padded saddle. I wore a pair of the newer chamois shorts (S7?) during TABR with fair less damage than TCR. I'll be wearing them again for TCR.

Any deals on Assos shorts around at the moment?

Now Rapha is the chopper clobber of choice, is Assos due a discreet comeback?

Picked up some Velocio bibs the other day which have the exact same chamois and overall bib construction/quality as Assos. As if they had come from the same factory.

I never stopped wearing it. When I say 'it' I mean their knicks. I have a pair of their mitts too, maybe some other stuff. I prefer the look of Castelli but that's spendy as fuck and their sizing is wank. I'm not buying other brands unless someone gives me a pair that prove to be awesome.

Where from? They don't appear to be available any more. Also you can get Assos bibs for less than £80 so why risk other brands?

Did you ever find anything? It looks like they’ve launched a new S9 range without me noticing and I’ve missed all of the S7 bargains now. Can’t find much under £150 or so.

Nope. I just bought two new pairs at wherever was cheapest in Google. Probably Sigma or Wiggle.

Resurrection time.
Assos.com are doing a quick survey that when completed gives to 20 pound euros swiss francs of shorts tights or take in a clean old pair of shorts any make to a authorised assos store for the discount .

Assos shorts trade-ins? Oh my. I wonder if they'd actually accept mine? 2006 vintage, baby.

That's not animated. That's actual video of me in an assos store.

Before you grew your hair?

So did anyone get the code ?
