Barry Stuart Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Are there any manufacturers that produce slim fit cycling shorts? Not baggies but not full on lycra either. It's for the benefit of all that I don't dress full roadie, I'm cool with the tops but I have thighs like a retiring crack hooker. Something similar to what Manuel Fumic wears would be ideal.
Super_mil Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I had no idea who or what you were on about, so I googled it...Found a pic with some local flavour...http://fthumb0.mtb-news.de/cache/670/auto/1/1/fstatic0.mtb-news.de/f/jv/9m/jv9mww1c99sm/large_A70W4885.jpg Some of the Royal pants are similar to this. I think the Shredtech brings them in...http://factoryjackson.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Royal-AM-Ride-Jersey-Matrix-Short-2013-51.jpg They come with a decent price tag though.

Barry Stuart Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 you mean like hipster cycling baggies?Sort of. Semi-toit, semi-hipster.

Odinson Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks, Super M, please don't tell the rats, I'm still holding out for an invite to that Whatsapp group. You have to go full body armour to roll with the Rats! I got a sweet pair of Craft trail shorts. Not too loose, but also not lycra tight. http://www.bobshop.com/out/pictures/master/product/1/22009_1.jpg Bought it from Ridgeway Cycles - but it comes at a premium and doesn't have a liner, so you need to have a good bib on under it.
the nerd Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I have the ones from Complete Cyclist (cant remember brand but they have a little complete cyclist logo on them) ... nice as they not too loose or tight... and very comfortable.
V12man Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Speak to Andrew Steer - maybe he can do some mods to the Anatomic ones for you....
Odinson Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 It's actually a shame that the more trail-oriented clothing isn't as readily available in SA as in other regions, such as Europe, USA and Oz. Just have a look at the variety of brands and styles on CRC. The local market doesn't even have a tenth of that.
Dazshell Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Try Foxx. Their store at Gateway has something similar. I would imagine they have a store in one of the big malls in Gauteng
nolipoli Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Did I miss something? Are these to wear on a road bike?
Odinson Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 There is a Fox store in Menlyn Mall - bought a jersey there. They have a pretty decent range of Fox's MTB clothing and accessories.
Super_mil Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks, Super M, please don't tell the rats, I'm still holding out for an invite to that Whatsapp group. Word on the Spruit is that the rats are on a toit leash

My better half got a set of Endura ladies trail pants (not cheap either) while we were in France and the stitching quality on them is not great. Had to have them restitched twice already.
Stretch Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 the one's that fontana wears? cannondale http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb9498935/p5pb9498935.jpg
Grebel Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I had a pair of Fox (Ranger?) shorts that lasted a few years and they survived a few DH runs as well. They have a built in liner that is also rather comfy.
