LUVBIKE1 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Ladies and Gents, I'm 47+ so don't do tight lycra anymore.. just to many crying children at coffee shops. I have probably spend the best part [on and off] of 12 months trying to locate a simple nice pair of baggies without liner option. The general reply is mostly "yes we have 3 purple ones in extra small ladies" "We have some great Specialized ones arriving in 12 weeks" "We only have these 3 seasons old First Ascents with mould on them". So are there any Cape Town-based shops or suppliers with stock of a simple Black Bontrager, Specialized or similar baggies.... worth a try ?
Johny Bravo Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Fox shop in Canal walk. Your best bet. Reasonable prices aswell. I bought a Spez pair last week, but at R1700 they arent exactly a bargain.
MTBeer Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 got a pair of these. they are very lekker. http://www.buycycle.co.za/en/apparel/men/bibs-and-shorts-en-2/fox-racing-en-6/fox-ranger-cargo-12-mtb-shorts-black.html
wepat Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Bridge Cycles - just bought some Indola Black baggies but they have built in liners last week. They have loads of clothes but a bit messy the shop just need to scratch around Revolution Cycles in town Freewheel Cycology in Kenilworth Trail and Tar in Tokai Also if you don't want liners buy the baggies and cut out the liners
Odinson Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I've got a pair of these: http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/craft-pb-mens-loose-fit-short However, I paid R800 for them at Ridgeway Cycles, so it was a hell of a lot cheaper than CWC. They don't have a liner, but have excellent adjustability and are quite tough. Also have a look at Fox's Ranger shorts. There are quite few online retailers selling them.
arabsandals Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I am also interested in responses to this question with the proviso that said baggies don't require taking out additional lines of credit to purchase.
tombeej Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I went past a Sportsmans Warehouse on the weekend and saw the Indola mtb shorts (R750). I hadn't considered them until now, but after looking at the quality and the feel of the material, I will probably buy a pair for my next purchase. Link here.
RocknRolla Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 .. just to many crying children at coffee shops. Bwaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaha!!! too funny!!
DR ◣◢ Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Sportmans now stock the Fox Ranger shorts. Quite good value for money but the liners are horrible. Best option remains to be bib + boardshorts. Otherwise check out swindle.co.za. They do Dakine. Liners are good and the fit is excellent.
Grebel Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I went past a Sportsmans Warehouse on the weekend and saw the Indola mtb shorts (R750). I hadn't considered them until now, but after looking at the quality and the feel of the material, I will probably buy a pair for my next purchase. Link here. I have a pair of those. Plenty comfy, tough and affordable. My liner is coming apart and at the current price of other baggies, I'll probably be looking at another pair of Indolas. They also take a beating well. Taken more that a few tumbles on the DH bike with them and no tears or splits
popcorn_skollie Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Dakine Chorus on Special here for R540.00Don't think you gonna find better value than thathttps://swindle.co.za/mens-chorus-mtb-short-1830
Gideondv Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 R1700 for Baggies now thats Fukinc rediculousThat's for baggies (very nice ones!) and a bib with pockets at the back..
daz_danger Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Check out www.shreddtech.co.zaThey do Royal Racing and currently running some specials with the outgoing 2014 range.Most of their trail riding shorts come with a removable liner.Limited sizes available though.
