A keen eye may have noticed a slight change in the bib shorts and jerseys of Garmin-Cervèlo’s Tyler Farrar, Johan VanSummeren, Heinrich Haussler, and Matt Wilson at Milan-San Remo this year. That’s because they weren’t wearing bib shorts and jerseys anymore – at least not as we know them.

I tend towards being “finicky” when it comes to things that I love and use on a daily basis. Like a good saddle, when I find a pair of bib shorts that I love, I hoard them in order to make sure I won’t run out. My personal “stock” has hit a rough patch in recent years…bibs that have been washed hundreds of times tend to become more see-through and less lycra.
