so i am in the market for a new pair of bib shorts. I have been riding with the santini CX bib shorts and they are pretty comfortable (for the price). I picked up a pair of giordana laser tenax shorts a while back and they are comfortable, but because my torso is so long i would love them to be a bit taller.

any recommendations?

I have some Specialized Pro bibs that would seem to accommodate a longer torso. I have a pretty short torso, but they seem a good bit looser up top than my Canari and Castelli stuff.

I've got bibs from Garneau and Capaforma that I've been very happy with.

I have a longer torso for my height and I LOVE my new Sugoi RS flex bib shorts. It has a higher density chamois than other shorts I have tried, very comfortable. They even have a pocket for your MP3 player.

I've been using the Nike 10//2 Livestrong Bibs and they are really comfortable. I'm shorter in size, but they extend a little higher on my torso than my Pearl Izumi bibs so they would probably fit someone better that has a larger torso. But from what I hear, Nike, Disco, and AMD are sort of parting ways and they may not be making the same quality products next year. This also means sales; I got mine for $70 and they normally retail for $120.
