Okay okay... so I got white bib shorts (castelli y-pro). I happen to like the colour and style and fully accepted the fact that white will show things easier. Okay, so i wasn't thinking about the see thru factor of white, but the folks at Castelli were. Castelli made the white y-pro bib shorts double ply ;-) so nothing shows through any more than any other colour short! (i also don't plan on crapping my shorts either. this seems to be something several people have mentioned.. that it will show thru. umm yeah. i'll just find a bathroom and take care of things that way.)
Enough on the white and on to the fit. I like 'em. The chamois is in all the right spots and none of the wrong. In fact, after a week of riding capped with a 70 miler today... all on my selle italia storika leather saddle... the Y-pro provided just the right blend of performance and comfort. As for the rest of the fit.. a little extra snug around the legs equating to more of an athletic / racing cut. The extra snugness is something I'm not quite used to, but not uncomfortable. In fact it seems to help on longer rides.
I also got a chance to wear the y-pro's on a mountain bike ride. The extra snugness around the legs was a little distracting, but not too bad. Probably something I could get used to.
Overall.. I like 'em... white colour and all.
