Assos Shorts

Rev. Burlington Kipper said:

Just thought I'd let everyone know that I bought some Assos Uno Shorts.
Fairly expensive at 70 odd quid but absolutley fantastic. I can't belive
what I have been missing out on for all these years. Got them from Parker
International - fabulous on line retailer

What do the Assos F1.mille shorts offer over and above the Uno? Anyone tries
these? Thinking of getting some of them....

Regards,
Steve

What is so good about them ? What have you been missing ?

Advertising revenue by the look of things!

They are extremely comfortable and allow a big 17 stone rider like me to
spend a lot longer in the saddle compared to cheaper shorts. A [censored] bit I
thought perhaps others might find useful.

I bought a pair and found them no better than 50 quid shorts (Campag being
my current favourite) so have gone back to those

I've a pair of Assos Mille. I tried everything they had in stock at the
Edinburgh Bike Co-op and the moment I tried on the Assos I could tell they
were better than the Specialized, Endura, Co-op etc.Using them on the bike
confirmed it. 50 quid isn't much if it adds to the enjoyment of your bike
riding.

Are you any particular body shape, or just 'average'?

I'm 6'2" and about 12 stone. The Specialized were pretty good but just far
too tight around the leg. And it's not as if I have tree trunk legs.

I got an email today from Rapha, to inform me about their new summer
range. Now, I confess to owning a pair of Rapha mitts, and they are
really, really nice (and so they bl**dy should be at the price). And
I'll confess that I'm wearing a pair of Rapha socks at this very moment.
But if you think Assos shorts are pricey, how about these?

Ouch. Imagine coming off your bike wearing those bib-tights - it would ruin
your whole day. Since it's confession time I also have a Rapha shirt but it
was a gift and it is every bit as comfortable as you would expect. Trouble
is I got it for my birthday in December so I've not had a chance to wear it
yet (except posing around the house).

What's the Assos sizing like?. I'm 6'1" and slim

The large size is fine for me and should probably be right for you too.

Christing Puce! I wish I could afford to buy some of their b+b-sh+rts,
so then I wouldn't...
