Missed the BIB bit so well done on finally maturing enough to realise what works. Bought my first bibs many years ago and only have one pair of ordinary shorts now.
And on saddles- When iIgot Boreas and the TCR- I went for FIZIC saddles. I had heard a lot about them and they were marvellous- for 6 months. Then they just went off- or my butt changed. I use two saddles now -A Flite gel-Max and a San Marco Aero. Both similar shapes and they both work.
