Triathlon shorts are a bit shorter than normal.....Handy if you have stumpy legs!

Unless of course, you're looking for something a bit more up to date.

Glad I am not alone.
Seriously, when your body fits in with the modern trend for "compact" many shorts do come come near to the knees. I fail to see the point of shorts that cover your legs beyond what is needed for function. Thus lycra needs to extend low enough to serve as a barrier between saddle and leg and nowt lower. Perhaps its my age. When I was a teenager cut off jeans were all the rage.

Dhb knowles are pretty short, as are a lot of the premium end racing offerings from most brands.

Assos always come up short on me so I wear Campag Heritage which are cut longer, I'm 6.2" for reference.

My Assos Uno's are too long in the leg, although the DHB Knowles are pretty good.

Just what I thought, terrifying!
Tri shorts are usually shorter, but are also much less padded.

The only place I know you can buy Rapha is at Condor Cycles or I guess at the new pop up Rapha shop. Both in central London.
Their 3/4 length tights are excellent, but I do not have their shorts so can not comment on there "shortness"

Trying to think of another sport where your body gets so visibly and dramatically transformed to fit its purpose.

True, but I find mine at least as comfy as normal cycling shorts, even though the 'padding' is really just a thick layer of extra lycra. I bought them for the summer as I'm sick of having a tan line just above my knees. They come to about mid-thigh on me.

PP - sorry been out for a bit and missed the replies - what brand of shorts do you wear and where from??

Mine are Pearl Izumis, I got them in a sale at Evans a year or so ago, so they're probably changed now, but I guess PI will do something similar
