Hi just a quick question to gauge your opinion on some bibs as per the title.

I am looking to move up in quality from DHB and my endura FS 260 pros which are pretty good.

The choice is high end castelli at about £120 or bottom of Assos range Assos s7 neopro

Max budget is £120

Cheers

    I have Castelli velocissimo and they are excellent. The KISS3 pad is sublime, so the pad above that in the range must be amazing.
    Red bikes are the fastest.

    Assos S7 no question. Castelli's Progetto X2 pad is the only one that even comes close...

    Same size as me - I take XL in both Castelli and Assos.
