I have to do something to justify my lack of performance ability. The whole thing about "it is not about the bike" only applies to pros that make a living out of this and have enough natural talent. For the rest of us amateurs, it is about the bike and it is about looking good!!!

Assos Uno Bibshorts

These were outstanding on their first ride today. I had the previous generation Unos and don't like them much. The pad is not comfortable, but it is not uncomfortable either. They also have no compression at all and the material is very thin. They hardly got used until I started using chamois cream, but since then, they fit so much better for some reason. These new generation bibs are completely different. The material is almost as thick and strong as the previous generation top of the line Assos bib. Same for the level of compression. Fit is a bit different, but in the whole good. The pad is so much better too. I have to say that I can hardly tell a difference between these current generation Unos and the Mille, which is great as the price difference between the 2 is significant. Maybe the Mille have a tiny tiny bit more compression but not by much really, and the pad feels exactly the same. Certainly not enough performance difference to justify the price difference.

Of course, this is a personal opinion based on fit and comfort to ME. YMMV!!!
