I just got the umpteenth 2007 version of the Colorado Cyclist catalog in the mail the other day. I swear they come more often than Newsweek! As I was looking through it, I noticed the significant increase in the number bib shorts being offered. Almost every page of clothing had 2 or 3 bibs shown on them. They seem to be about $20 or $30 more expensive than the same bike shorts. I even saw an ASSOS pair for $275 – ouch!!!
My question is what is the advantage of using bibs vs regular bike shorts? I know I would never use them in a triathlon but why would I want to spend the extra money for a pair just for training?
