Ha, here we go again. I’m sitting here right now in some Assos bibs after just getting home, and after reading the last two posts I think I’d have to take these off and look at the label on the back to be sure which ones they are... Equipe something or other. No, I meant Evo something or other. Hell, now I don’t know, but I sure like them, even though they could be 2cm longer.

2cm longer? Really?
Assos are already pretty long.

Ha... they used to be ok (for me), then some time ago when the new owners took over, they shortened the length by 2cm. I preferred the old length. I know it’s a long thread but we were joking about it somewhere in this tomb of confusion. If the current length works for you, then you’re golden.

:D The length of the shorts is determined by the R&D department, headed by Roche Maier, the old CEO.

Good. As long as he’s about we should get proper shorts lengths from Assos.

So he’s got short femurs too? Damnit. I thought it was all Stavro’s doing. But seriously, why the sudden change in length of 2cm after years and years of a length, which even then, was on the shorter side compared to most other brands? Someone at Assos knows the answer. I suspect they might say fashion trend towards shorter shorts, but I don’t really notice people wanting short shorts. Except maybe for Thomas Voekler. And it’s not like I’ve got freakishly long legs/femurs or anything. But Assos’ bib/knicker length, even compared to other brands today, seems to be on the short side, no? How bout a compromise... 1 more centimeter Image.

Are the changes worth the price difference? Its about 30USD difference on Wiggle.

Depends on you gut? The Evo should be less constrictive across your lower belly, but then again the S7 is not very costrictive. there

Just bought some Tiburu Mille S7 3/4 bibs.

Got annoyed with knee warmers, so thought why not. Anyone have them?
