happy new year everyone!!!

just wanted to see if anyone knew of any deals on Assos....I'm looking for a new pair of bibshorts.

Thanks

U just missed gearlink's new years sale. Their next one s/b around feb 7th for valentanes day. You get something like 20% or so off. They can a bit strange as many (not all) Florida online shops can be as they won't email you the tracking info etc. They are stingy with email infos. Phone calls works good. But the best price I know of though. Go read some Amazon's reviews if you are worried and make your own decision. I was a bit concerned at first but they've always delivered in average time. If you can overlook quarky things like shiping out within 24 to 48 hrs things (do not pay for 2nd day air as they ship-out in a couple of days anyway) and not informing you as normal seller do, that is.

Also at cyclefixx you can sign up for email news and get 10% off and there is always ebay. I think they are called euromike or something and, although limited selections, prices are not bad. And surprisingly Coloradocycling stated to cut prices on some stuffs as they occasionally lower last years models when the new ones are coming out.

You may want to look at backcountyoutlet.com, but not for assos. go to search and put in "demarchi" I own a pair of FI Uno and a pair of FI Mille bibs and I recently purchased demarchi contour racing bibs for about $140. They are unbelievable- I like them better than the assos. And, they have a guaranteed forever return policy, so its like no risk. Not sure what they have left. Otherwise your best bet is gearlink or ebay.

Check out ebay, I have been able to pick up a few pairs of FI-13 S2 bibs new for <$200. Todate they are the best shorts i have worn. Good luck!

the ebay prices are better than gearlink's (their price is not that hard to top)

Before I did my purchase from gearlink about a week ago I compared the price to ebay's item by item and gearlinks were better enough (some are significantly better) that I ordered from them. The only item the ebay store was better was uno jersey by like $7 (but only had 2 sizes.) Besides ebay only had few assos items and not all sizes.

Another thing I was impressed about gearlink is they carry the newest model lines. When I bought my uno jersey, while I was looking at Colorado Cyclist site for a new assos jersey gearlink emailed me the special promo ad so I ordered from them. I later realized when the jersey arrived that it was different than what CC's had on their website and thought gearlink sent me an older model year jersey. Not so. Their's was the newest version where as CC's were the older year version (in fact. CC site still shows the older model yet, last time I checked.)

If you are happy with what you paid gearlink, then I am glad for you, but I saw their sale prices as well and they were not that good.

Okay, this not to go on about this but what it's all about is that at the time I needed to order the particular Assos items, who has the best price, regardless of by how much as I have no love lost by placing order to either of them, and who's got what I want in stock and in my size. That's all.

Plus ebay's shipping was too high. Okay, I done talking bout this.

Competitive Cyclist has a sale on Assos right now and some other brand.

Chances are if your bike shop stocks this stuff they will sell it to you for gearlink prices. Then you dont have to pay shipping. Assos is pretty strict about pricing and then if you have any issues you will be taken care of.
