Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.

Tall Bib Shorts?

I am looking for some bib shorts that are made for taller riders. I am a thin climber (6 foot 130lbs) and cannot find a pair of bib shorts that fit me. The small shorts are the right tightness around my legs but the bibs are too short and feel like they are pulling my shoulders down all the time. Has anyone found bib shorts that come in tall sizes?

Specialized. I feel like I could raise the straps a foot over my head if I wanted.

My bib straps always stretch to fit.

I had good luck with some adidas shorts. Their straps are super long, the chamois turned out to be too narrow I think, but the straps/fit were great. I'm 6', with a long torso.
