Assos T Roubaix FI Mille 3/4 Knickers

Loved them. Rode in them for the first time today and they are awesome. Great compression, great pad, warming, and awesome fit. After I bought them, I had read reviews of the Assos knee warmers where most people that had them hated them because unlike the leg warmers that seemed to be long enough for the average 9 feet tall man, these were extremely short and too tight. Most reviews said that unless you had chicken legs, they would not fit over the calf at all. It is hard to tell where Assos intends for them to be at, whether that is at mid calf or right above it, as the pictures I have seen have not been very clear. Regardless, these knickers fit just right to me, which is the only review that matters to me.

Ribble Cycles

Suck hard!! I placed an order about 10 days ago. Their site said nothing about being closed for holidays or anything like that. Their prices do seem to be significantly lower than even PBK or wiggle, plus they had paypal payment, which is a huge plus for me as they do not charge a fee for buying in a foreign currency. it was not until 7 days later that I get an email telling me that they cannot mail the Vittoria PitStop, so they want to know if I want the rest of my order. I replied saying yes and asking why it took so long for them to contact me about it holding my order in the meantime. 3 days later they reply again saying that they were closed for the holidays for so many days and were backed up with so many order. That was followed by another email 3 min later telling me they will cancel my order and refund me for the entire order because since I paid with paypal they cannot do partial refunds. Funny, since Wiggle doesn't seem to have an issue doing that. In any case, they won't see an order from me again despite their very attractive prices.
