Congrats to another convert.

Now that you've spent a few dollars on something respectable, it's time to move up to the best -- BIBS.

I gave away all my shorts in June 2003. Last count I had 12 pairs of bibs (I think - maybe 13) -- 6 pairs for commuting (Voler, Bellwether, and inexpensive Etxe Ondo) and 6 pairs for weekend rides (Voler and Etxe Ondo).

For times when "modesty" is a concern I have one pair of PI Canyon shorts. I hate wearing those things.
