Not for me ... but for my wife who is riding 2up and wishes to continue as long as she can ...

Looking for suitable 3/4qtrs with a low front that should fit below the stoker ... any suggestions?

    Why not a cheaper pair and cut away what is in the way?

    yup - that's an option - but it'd be better to get something that just fits to start with! :)

    That's not quite what Rule 34 states...

    yer - but the bibshorts are unavailable ... :(

    Invariably they assume women cyclists are stick-insects too ...

    My gf continued to cycle wearing normal bib shorts - Giordana's she used, and they have plenty of give, and I thought all bibs were super stretchy anyway no?

    She was cycling on our holiday in France when she was 7 months, no problems at all - this on a Tri Cross sport, so a bit more sit up than a full on racing bike mind you.

    if that won't work for her, then the other option might be normal shorts, ie not bibs, my gf has some Mavic and Cannondale ones which are fine, and are now relegated to turbo work, as she has a few decent bib shorts now.

    Ta - she's currently wearing her bibs but she doesn't really like the full length ones - so just planning ahead for when it gets a little warmer as she doesn't have any 3/4 bibs that don't have a really high front - they're tricky to put on at the best of times! :)

    She's hoping to carry on riding as much as possible - she's got a few bikes to chose from ranging from MTB to low front road bike so something will fit ... I think she's a bit peeved because she's got a place for RL100 but won't be able to do the training to do it justice and she was going to start TTing this year ...
