I'm Sponsored by Assos

Hungrycol

Last Friday I received my first piece of Assos kit free of charge from Assos in Switzerland:D. Long story but last year I suggested putting sunglasses loops on their hats and they replied saying that they were already prototyping it. A few weeks ago I saw that they have sunglasses loops on their latest fuguHelm so I very cheekily asked for one of these hats as my reward for my wonderfull suggestion referencing our correspondence last year. They of course replied quite sternly in a round about way saying that they got there first as previous correspondence noted blah blah blah but....but would be happy to send me one to keep my head warm during the winter months.

So there you go folks, I am officially sponsored by Assos :cool:

(that's not me, it looks much better on him)

That makes no sense, you must "sponsor yourself"! :pac:

I think you'll find that, as I'm probably responsible for over 50% of Assos' turnover, you are actually sponsored by Beasty (brought to you by Assos);)

Anyone else get the impression that all assos gear is modeled by a topless guy? If it's cold enough to wear a hat etc etc etc...

I reckon if you asked any of the blokes at that event what colour her shoes were you'd be hard pushed to find one who noticed!!

Assos have an interesting set of photographs of their bibshorts for women.

I was looking for a pair for my wife. What do you mean she rides a 15 year old MTB - she likes to be comfortable OK?

ednwireland

those hats would be brilliant if they did them without those stupid loops at the side
