Performance had a 20% on top of the $20 off sale on century gel bib shorts. I found out I'm still an XL. Tommorow will tell if they're right for me

Went to my LBS over lunch and they had a 30% off sale on all bibs.

I again resisted, without any real temptation.

I just started wearing bike shorts a year ago so I doubt if I'm ready for the bib yet. But keep posting about the experience with bib, I might be convinced to try them someday.
