hey mike,
I have a pair of Assos Bibs and they are great. The only thing I don't like is the price that I paid $180. Assos makes great clothing but they keep jacking their prices up. I don't think I will ever buy an Assos product again, UNLESS they bring their prices down to a reasonable level. $120 for a cycling jersey come on. I say we here at bikeforums should boycott Assos and spread the message that we are tired of getting gouged. Maybe it will send some type of message to them. Descente has some bibs that can be had for $100 or so.
