Need Bibs with shorter legs
 
I'm short with a 28" inseam and thin legs. I can't seem to find any bibs with legs that don't almost go down to my knees....and they don't fit tight around my leg at the bottom. A couple of years ago I bought a pair from Performance that fit fairly well, but the pair I bought this year are almost an inch longer.

Women's shorts seem shorter but don't fit well in the hips. Anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks.

I swear some of the models on the world cycling catalouge I thought the shorts were like underwear they were pretty damn short, and almost see through. But hey thats the europeans!

I find the Prorace bibs to be shorter, which I like. They aren't so short they look like womens shorts though but are a good Inch shorter than all my others. They are probikekits house brand and can be found on www.probikekit.com and are cheap and comfy on top of it.

Woman's fit clothes works well for me. You mustn't have an a***! :)

Anyway try some different brands as they are usually slightly different.

Regards, Anthony

Heh ... first time I saw a pair of white speedos after they got wet (Greece, many years ago), I just about crapped myself with laughter. Still, I have to say they are easier to swim in than those down-to-your-knees things that prevail over here!
