CHPT3 OneMoreLap 1.12 Bibshort - Outer Space
After 18 years as a professional, over a thousand days racing under my belt, and yet there was one day’s racing I’d never completed:Paris-Roubaix. In my final year, 2014, it was one of my primary objectives, to finish that is. 257km, 28 cobbled sections totaling nearly 60km, and two laps of a velodrome. I did it all, apart from the last lap. I stood in the middle of that most famous of velodromes, helmet off, knocking back a Fanta, face covered in dirt, feeling a bit of a hero. Until my wife told me I had one more lap to do. ONEMORELAP? That pretty much summed up my final year, it wasn't exactly a blaze of glory.
The ONEMORELAP multi-panel bib short is inspired by my last Roubaix ride. It's robust – but comfortable; it feels like it’s up to a six hour ride across the cobbles. The chamois is an evolution of the one I used my last four years as a pro, only dedicated to my good friend Lord Latymer. But that is another story. This is the CHPT3 ONEMORELAP bib short, a reminder to us all that sometimes finishing can be as important as winning.
DETAILS
These shorts are made in a multi-panel fashion which is different to the flagship 1.11 shorts which uses a more expensive ‘bodypaint’ construction method that involves high wastage in the manufacturing process. In other words it allows us to create a short that uses the highest quality of fabric but at a slightly lower price point to the 1.11.
This is also the reason we used a bib that is identical to the type of bib used in racing, the only difference being that it has a pattern printed on it in order to give it an internal reveal of colour and pattern in contrast to the subdued exterior, much like a Savile Row suit.

CONSTRUCTION
