Anyone use Castelli bibs? Does anybody use these, or know if they are any good? Castelli Bibs (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3626408328&category=22687) . Any other good bibs I could get? I have only ridden shorts so far but am pretty sure I want some bib shorts. Know anyplace to get cheap bib shorts?

They are comfy and $$. Aussie is not bad. Pearl has a new bib with seamless chamious that is quite nice.

I haven't used their bibs but their shorts are fine. I like the Giordano bibs I've bought.

I have a pair of Castelli bibs with the temp control pad. I really like them. They are my fav's. I think they are a step up from PI as far as comfort.

I have had my PI's for a few years. Their stuff lasts a long time!!

I have only had the Castellis for a year but still no problems. Hopefully they last just as long.

Maybe if I hit the lotto someday I will try the Assos!

Save your money on the Assos. (They feel like your sitting on a 1/2" chunk of dense foam rubber). I personally didn't care for them.

I have a pair of Castellis not the Y2, I think they are Dome
model. They are ok, I prefer Etxe Ondo bibs, and their top
of the line is cheaper than top of the line Castelli or Assos.
That said the Dome bibs are on sale for $69. at Excel.

I've got a Canari jersey, its not bad, but not the best I've
seen.
REI and other outlet type shops sell Canari.

For $55 you can do better.
