New Bibs, opinions please (assos, rapha, de soto)

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Thanks. I am definitely going Assos, just stuck on the Mille or Equipe. The bottom line is Uno if they are S5 btw.

Which did you go with? My LG's need to be replaced and I'm tired of researching! I am stuck between these two. I still need to drop some pounds but I am afraid of less compression. But I feel like the Mille will fit better. I would probably just pull the trigger and go with Centos but they are loot.

Rapha is having a sale right now. I think their lightweight, pro bib shorts are down to $135.00.

I've been wearing PI since the 90's and thought they were great. But in the last year I've bought 2 pair of Assos bibs. The T7 Equipe, and the top of the line Camp something or other. I got them from Belatti Sport in Switzerland. Got the Eqipes for something like 260, and the others for 360. no way I could afford US pricing. The Best bibs I've ever worn.
