just wanted to see if this has crossed anybody else's mind?
turn a bib short into regular shorts?
i've thought this because team kits usually are bib shorts...and i feel more comfortable wearing regular shorts...
all it would take is a little cutting, sewing, and patience.
anyone?

Considering bibs don't have elastic around the waist, it'd be a bad idea. Why are you more comfortable wearing shorts as compared to bibs? Most people, at least the ones I've run across as well as myslf, much prefer bibs over shorts.

I want to turn my Tarmac into a unicycle. Comments? Suggestions?
A little cutting and patience is all it would take.

Just get used to the bibs they are better in the long run.
Also the bibs dont have an elastic band on the waist so unless you can sew one in they will not stay up.

Would you take a chainsaw to your Ferrari to make it a convertible?

Stick with bibs. The only way to go.
I'm curious as to why you prefer regular shorts.
