Stylish cycling kit

Galibier.cc make shorts in a range of lengths.

Tried some of these and didn't get on with the pad unfortunately. Good shout generally though, other Galibier stuff I have is great.

My Assos T Equipe Evo are certainly shorter than anything else I have from Rapha, Le Col, Galibier, Pearl Izumi.

The La Passione Minimal shorts are not too long and have a good pad.

These boots are my first venture into vintage cycling kit. Bought them mainly for the looks, but they ride surprisingly well. Ideally I would have liked them to be a size smaller, but NOS beggars can't be choosers.

Stylish enough IMO and pretty reasonably priced

Yes. Got green ones.
Very good.

Cheers , il give them a go :)

They're really something. What are they for? Do they have fittings for cleats? I would wear them to the pub.

Mountainbike boots. No fittings for cleats, so flat pedaal inkt.

Can anyone find the thread about bib shorts for long legs? I’ve tried. I’m hopeless with search

posting This Spreadsheet in This Thread is the equivalent of paying your taxes. My turn!

Perhaps I should open it up to allow submissions? I haven’t updated it in a while, but I do now have some Core 21 bibs and I don’T think they are 2.5cm longer than the 2020 bibs. I’ll measure them tonight. Hopefully Rapha weren’t fibbing.

Not sure about the measurements, but the Albion bib shorts are decently long for my lanky legs (as well as being generally super nice)

Ah ok thanks! You don’t have galibier on there who are long in the leg, but also have gone crazy baggy round the bottom of the leg and thigh after about 20 rides. Not ideal

Endura Pro SL, long leg. I'm 6'6, all leg and they're to my knees

After following advice in this thread I can vouch for Albions length too, though wouldn’t agree with them coming up small.

I‘m 6,5, long legs and have been going with Rapha Pro Team long size small for years. Got the Albions in a medium and would say the sizing is analogous with Rapha. ie the Medium Albions are a touch longer and looser.

Quality bibs for sure and will probably get more in a small but definitely prefer the Rapha chamois

Yes! Would be super handy to have a wide dataset

Here’s a link to the bib leg length spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vKCrn5QkYD3sdf755WiBQF1ERETI-px7HgbQJ-jwXEQ/edit?usp=sharing

Feel free to comment on it to add data. I got these measurements by asking the manufacturers.

Unfortunately the newer models have a wider fit compared to a few years ago and the zipper is a bit to tight around the neck. But still my favorite jersey, Orkaan by Stolen Goat.

I rate these bibshorts, especially with the choice of pad width. Must say the branding is pretty naff though, I don't mind the white logo on the arse, but the text on the thigh is rubbish. I wish they did a navy version

Try Kallas too, they do longer version of each size. E.g. I'm a 2 but 2+ is better fit for my long limbs.

Edit, I'm not sure I can translate Kallas sizes onto the sheet.

Anyone had any experience with MAAP? Jerseys look great but longer arms and PRO FIT has thrown me a bit... I'd say I'm more of a large in sizing as I'm not a fan of overly tight everything
