Tried Assos, some top end Lusso and Altura and a pair of Rapha Core and Classics.
Ended up keeping the Classics as they fit the best and had a pad that fitted my gooch perfectly.
The Assos were a close second, but the pad fit whilst good wasn't quite as good.
Managed to get a 20% discount on the Classics.
The Assos bibs I bought from the Assos factory shop.

How did you get 20% off the Rapha Classics? Email code?Tried Assos, some top end Lusso and Altura and a pair of Rapha Core and Classics.

I'm holding out but know deep down I'll probably end up with some Rapha ones, the Core range has had some bad reviews though.
My current Santini ones are odd, I've got shorts in XL that fit nicely but the straps are too tight, pulling the shorts up, I've got longs in L and they're perfect!
The Rapha archive store isn't far from me, but I've a snowman's chance of getting some in a L in there.

The internet says they use a common pad, but I'm not so sure. Also I didn't like the fit of the leg grippers, too wide and baggy when not on the bike.
Overall the fit of the Classics were just better, like a second skin.
The only thing I'm conscious of is wearing Rapha makes a huge statement IMHO, anyhow they look and feel good, especially when matched against my Aldi long sleeve jersey!

It's for my wife and she suggested pics before we start building.
Will get some of it done, but Kinesis are slow to respond regarding the Di2 wiring. I'm going to have to drill through the BB to route the wires I think.

Can I ask where you got the di2 groupset with Hyd brakes from ?
