Short inseam bibs?
Anyone know what brand of bibs have shorter inseams (bottom sits higher on the thigh)? I'm a short guy, 5'5", and even small bibs go almost down to my knees.

Pearl Izumi's are all around a 9" inseam for a medium. Some of the Mavic bibs have a 7" inseam i think. Most of the newer Garneau bibs are the longer 11" inseam.

Specialized also has kind of a short inseam. At least their BG Pro SL ones.

I'm 5' 6" and find Assos and Capo on the long side, but I ride them anyway.
I used to have a couple pairs of Exteondo (sp?) bibs, which had about a 1" inseam difference between models.
I assume that inseam lengths increase with size, so it probably makes sense to select the size carefully. I'm guessing on this, but it makes sense that inseams are diferent on a XS an XXXL.

My castellis are about 1.5 - 2" shorter than my hincapies. The hincapies are about 1" shorter than most of my other bibs: PI, voler, spec.

The Assos S Series bibs had very short inseams, they were made a few years back, under 100.00..

Have same issue. Zoot has a nice line of bibs that have a shorter inseam. They make a lot of tri stuff but also some more traditional shorts and bibs. Kind of hard to find.
