Fellow clydes, follow the link if you want to buy some PI Microsensor bibs for $50. I have purchased from the vendor before and he is pretty good / honest. Also, these bibs have performed excellent for me so far.

i'm having trouble finding bibs I like, some fit well on top and at the hips but then the knees are loose. I'm afraid to order from anyone other than nashbar or performance, who have a good return policy.

Are they any good, or are they just another pair of cheap and cheaply made bibs?

I wondered the same thing. I did find this review (http://www.cyclechat.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=13708), which seemed pretty positive. I decided to give them a try. I'll let you know what I think when I get them, though they will be my first pair of bibs so will only be able to compare them to shorts.

I cannot comment on the quality of the bibs but I have bought a few items from love2pedal and have been impressed with every sale. I wouldn't worry about the sale at least he's good to deal with.

On the love2pedal Web site, it says you can return the clothes for any reason and get a full refund, less the shipping price. Hopefully I won't need to ;)

I got the bibs in the mail today. Super quick shipping.

The fit seems very accurate based on what the Web site says. The chamois seems decent, but It'll be interesting to compare them to my gel shorts.

I plan on trying them out on Saturday.

I bought 3 pairs of Hincapie bibs on ebay for around 30 - 35 bucks apiece over the past few months. I saw a pair just like them in a lbs last week for $198. I like mine just fine. The 3xl's fit me great (40 - 42" waist). They may be more expensive now that warmer weather is around the corner.

Here's a link to the seller's store: http://stores.ebay.com/Classic-Cycling_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsxQ3asstQQtZkm

Hi all!

I am a new member and am surprised to see my company mentioned!

I hope <intolerance> from Tucson likes his new bibs!

I can create a discount code for items from our site for users of this forum if anybody has any interest (and if it is kosher with bikeforum.net).

Yes, please get back to us. I like to alternate gel bibs with 'regular' on long tours.

They are as comfortable as my pair of foam shorts, but that being said, I think I prefer gel pads. Overall I loved the bibs though. It is much nicer not having a waistband and not having to worry about plumbers crack. I'll certainly be wearing these a lot and keeping an eye out for a gel variety.

I bought a "Fat B@st@rd" jersey from you not too long ago and I love it!

At the shop, we don't have many options for cycling clothing in my size other than Borah. It pains me to pay retail, so I was happy to find your auctions on eBay.

<intolerance>:Thanks for the feedback on the bibs. We have tried some gel versions but have not been happy with the durability of the gel pad or the comfort. We hope to find something we like in the near future.

The problems we had was that after several washings, the gel started to 'escape' the pad area. The other problem I had personally was that where the gel pad ended was kind abrupt (instead of a gradually thinning) and this transition from pad to no pad felt like I was sitting on a seam or something and caused some irritation on 50+ mile rides.
