Has anyone come across the lady's section on assos.com recently? Thoughts?

https://assos.com/en/25/products.aspx?cat=7,19,24

NSFW Link if you're on the job.

Yes!

I'm scared to go there from my work computer. Strong filter/reporting mechanism, and this thread does not have the vibe of a woman looking for bibs.

A bunch of pervs we are!

And this thread is not about womans bibs!

Are ladies supposed to ride like that, sans cycling jersey. It is an innocent question, by the way. I just don't know.

Anyway, ****.

They certainly know who their real core customers are...

really? don't get out much do you...

I really like these ummm... shorts:

Getting out has nothing to do with it....

Ok, because drooling over pictures on the web is worthwhile.

srzly?

Go bother another thread. We're serious people here.

i'm a big fan of LOOK's stufff as well

They're obviously trying to sell more mens clothing.

boh-ner

You get the same stuff searching Assos on Amazon.

I couldn't help notice this month's PI ad in Bicycling Magazine was on the racey side. Full page of a couple basically engaged in stand-up shower sex with their bibs on.

I find this offensive. When im out riding, and I see a physically fit woman riding...let's say on a tri bike, bent over on aerobars. I don't see a "hot chick" or a "nice butt". I see a cyclist. On the bike, I can't see gender.

loljk

that sounds very frustrating.

they had an equally racey full page add in last month's as well (and maybe even the month before that too??)


but seriously, how incredibly douchy are the sunglasses that the dude is wearing in all the men's clothing pics??? (no h0m0, i'm at work, in a cubicle, and don't wanna bring up the lady pics for all to see)

They seem a little skinny. Perhaps more gels on longer rides...they don't look like they could climb worth a damn.

What was that website for again?

Had your eyes checked lately?

yeah, that ad was in VeloNews too

It's meant to make you horny. The model is really pretty, got a really nice bod.

I don't know what they are trying to do. Ads should increase sales. Is Assos trying to appeal to potential male buyers or female buyers? I was looking at the website for my wife. I want to get her some comfy shorts. If I showed her the website I can't say it would make her want to get Assos. Some gals, perhaps. For guys, I don't know how the pics would make them think, "I want to get Assos." I really like Assos stuff. I'm loaded down with it for all seasons, bibshorts, knickers, tights, jerseys, jack. It's very good. If you buy Assos, you will not be unhappy.

But, I also really like Gore Bikewear, Castelli and DeMarchi, and they seem to be able to sell without showing tease-tits pics. (Their Assos/Cytech EIT-padded bottoms are darned comfy.Not inferior to the full Assos bottoms in any way. GBW, an American company, mfring mostly in Asia, but all their design work is done in Europe, they know what they are doing, their stuff is top-rated in Germany. Castelli, mfring is mostly outsourced, but also true for Assos. DeMarchi is mostly outsourcing, but you can get some great deals on MADE-IN-ITALY DMs. You can get some great deals on made-in-Italy Sidis, if you know what you're doing. Most of their stuff, however, is outsourced to Eastern Europe these days.)

Look's gal-model is more athletic looking than the Assos girl, albeit not as pretty. But I'm not going to buy Look apparel because they have a hot-body model.

Marzocchi used to have really salacious pics. But I never got one of their suspension forks for my MTBs. Fox and Magura had awesome air-suspension forks, sans titillating sales art. So I went with them. NIICE forks.
