Have some Scott Bibshorts that are in the f/s section which are think are too big, however as I've not had any one snapping my hand off, I wondered when a pair of shorts are too big around the thigh.

Either I have sparrow legs or I'm 3" too shorts.

I wondered as when I stand the shorts hang loose, but as I bend my legs they ride up and they grip. Should they grip when I'm standing?

I only ask as it's a shame to get rid of them as they fit in every other way

    I have some assos mille bibs that are a little loose in the legs when stood up, but after 5 minutes into a ride they are tight around my thighs. Try going for a short ride in them...

    It sounds a bit like they re a size too big...

    I know it's a PITA, but its worth getting some that fit. Myabe it's worth going to the LBS and trying a couple if you are a bit of a unique shape.

    Thanks for the responses.

    I think that they are one size too big, which is a great shame.

    So if anyone is interested in a brand new Scott Bibshorts let me know, still have the tags.

    Straight sale or swap for XL
