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. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Performance Ultra Bibs Sizing

In the market for a new set of bibs. I have the Hammer Bergamo bibs which I like a lot and the Volers which I'm not crazy about. I've heard great things about the Ultras, but hope someone can help me with sizing.

I'm 5'5 and a 32 inch waist. That would put me at a medium on their sizing chart, but since I'm short I'm worried they'd be too long in the inseam. I don't like the bottom of the bibs almost touching my knees, so I'm leaning towards small.

Can anyone offer some advice on this, or any other decent bibs that would be cut a little shorter in the same price range? I'm looking at the Ultras right now because of the 50% sale.

Thanks

I'm also not tall and the medium fits fine on me. I think you'll be ok with it. I really like the ultras - I actually prefer them to my Assos Fi Unos by a fair amount.

Thanks I appreciate the info. And what is the difference between the Ultra Max and Ultra II? I like the styling of the Max with the white borders, but not if it's at the expense of a less comfortable fit.
