    As a proud Fatty Master, I have a pair of Assos bibs that I won in a
    raffle. I would agree that the fit and material is a notch above your
    typical PI or Voler. That said, the pad was designed in a way that
    feels fine on the bike but feels like a giant wedgie when you were
    walking around.

    Interesting. That supports the theory that Assos offers superior
    comfort on the bike, but clearly they haven't taken into account the
    critical need for comfort in the coffee shop. Room for improvement
    remains.

    That's why I use underwear when I ride. I recently switched to breifs
    because the boxers looked funny under my bibs. Maybe I should use a
    thong?

    Joseph

    Sure. Just remember the extra helping of Assos Chamois Cream if
    they're lace.

    Hi, Herb. Hope you're well.

    So it's "arrogance" to take some verbal pokes at elitist twits? Yeah,
    JT doesn't suffer fools gladly, but he's better than a lot of other
    folks here, and I might call him things, but arrogant isn't one of
    them.
    Wanna bet that if you sewed Assos labels on [censored] from Wally World, a
    lot of those folks would defend it to the death?

    Why not, after all greg is paying.

    To repeat my position, I want my pet primates out of the office and on
    the bike all day. They'll do less damage to civilization that way.

    You should get one of these to match your Assos:

    ce_fpxcarbon08>


    That's only $5k(US) for the frame. Don't they have anything more
    expensive?

    Dogma FPX lists for $5300. Or buy one with scratches on eBay for
    $1499.

    Ben wants some new Assos bib shorts so he can go on his afternoon rides
    without any discernable cracks.

    Never back down. Don't admit weakness! Blame your equipment if you have to!

    Are we not Freds!?!?

    Who needs dough? Scam them from Ebay also. Even a homeless man can
    become a fully kitted out fatty master with the help of Ebay.

    Ebay is an amazing Fred Outreach resource for racers. Even used shorts
    (team kit) can be sold for good $$$ to Freds.

    It blows me away. Do the Freds sniff the chamois or something?

    thanks,

    Dumbass,

    Duh. If you're wearing underwear under your shorts,
    maybe you don't need to care.

    If I have to keep explaining this stuff to you,
    you are going to lose your crown as King of the
    Freds.

    Ebay is great if your putting together a retro kit, and
    80's retro is where it's at now.
