Hi all,
not really technical but maybe the best fit for the topic.
Rapha has bib shorts on sale at the moment and I am looking into buying on. Unfortunately, the don’t have pictures of their chamois on the website. I’m pretty sure some of you lot has a Rapha bib an can post a picture of the chamois for me. (I have noticed that I can pretty much tell if a chamois works for me from the shape)
Thanks!

This may not be relevant to you but Castelli also has a sale on. I just got a couple of pairs of the Aero4 bibs and they are fantastic. Just had a test run of 2 hours on Zwift with 0 issues. Best chamois I have tried to date and I have been riding since the chamois was actually real. 
I have tried Castelli serveral times but their sizing is so Italian 
They started to be tight at the calves and no chance to get them over my
fat legs.
Ya, it is common to have to go 2 sizes up in Castelli!
Interestingly, it far less off with jackets and gloves are perfectly normal sizing.
Agreed. Gloves relatively normal and jackets only a bit small. Have not tried the Gabba though.
Not tried rapha - I like Pactimo though.
Second for Pactimo - never pay full price, they have so many sales!
Never tried Rapha bibs always seem really pricy. Other than my club ones I find Le Col have been great for me and they often have deals on.
Literally this for me!! Got a text from them yesterday about their never ending sale

Today, my Le Col shorts arrived. I got a really good discount with a Strava challenge code. Also finally got aero socks.

That’s really cool. I’ve never really got into Strava challenges. Maybe I will look.
Defiantly good for some clothing discounts that come up. Le Col seem to be doing them all the time.
I can now report that the LeCol bibshorts are pretty good but still not as good as my gold standard MAAP. (why do I always attact the expensive stuff?). The aero socks are great and usable on my sprinter calves.
Got a pair from Amazon the other day for abbot $40 - they are not bad, but not for long rides. The fit is fantastic, but a bit too padded for me.
This model https://lecol.cc/de-de/products/pro-lightweight-bib-shorts?variant=39347281231935 I needed something for the really hot days.
