[Closed] Brightly coloured baggy shorts?

Yes I've seen them.
No I don't care what folk wear.

We sell lots of red Fox Attack Q4 but never really bold jerseys. Loads of bold road jerseys but only ever black bibshorts.

Errr no, not at your age 🙄

3/4 bib tights for me eh?

If you've got the skills then why not? Actually even if you don't have the skills then as long as you're happy, who gives a stuff?

Not an age thing either so ... go on Buzz!

They'll clash with the Hulk !

Sure I saw a pic with rOcKeTdOg wearing some really cool baggies, not in-your-face bright but a little different to the normal.

Think Spain Buzz, I'm faster than you

rarrrrrrgh face to match, for full effect.

See MBUK Doddy for full effect.

*ahem*

"My kit's so bright it looks like my PJ's, everything I say sounds like a cliche"

hmmm!

Lol @ rd 😀 Definitely checked but the colours looked darker. Do you have a similar pair?

Does white count as bright?

Occasionally I can also be seen sporting the coolest (temperature wise) shorts ever. Only in private on the hill, never the pub - or next to mrs_oab.

White doesn't count. More worryingly: someone seems to have glued your bike to a rock face.

They look grey not white !been in the wash with the coloured stuff?

Cream colour, please. Best shorts EVAH *fact* (Sombrio)

CG, they are a bit common

Oh, and they are 1.8 26" tyres, V's, SIDs and a double setup in the Alps...

Yes - Absolutley

I'm rocking a pair of firefly ( yellow )
Haglofs Ardent shorts
Worth every penny

Had Endura zymes, hum vees , mt500's and single tracks
And the ardents blow the lot out the water

One pair for it all !
Might get the black pair too 😉

Green is where it's at.

Remember, It's all about looking Good........

I've ordered a Tennis Ball Yeller SC frame so i reckon i need some matching shorts,
Bright seems to be in ? the HOWIES Dyfi Jacket sold out in a day or so in Orange, As long as its not Toight and Lycra then i reckon you could get away with pretty much anything,

*Except Dirty white ones ?

Shorts actually come in other colours than black?
😯

Bugger to keep clean.....but ye i fancy the green royal signature shorts
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=88082

All the bike shops that I visit have loads of choice in shorts for men, whilst us women are lucky to have a choice between a couple of almost identical styles, invariably black, with ridiculously flappy legs so you look like a schoolboy wearing his big brother's shorts! Oh, and a choice between jerseys in various shades of pink or purple!!

Poc blue flow shorts are quite nice for a change,

[img] [/img]

team them up with my Howies orange Dyfi jacket and i'll look like a poster paint spillage in a nursery.

I still prefer black kit though as it doesn't show up marks, mud etc and i can wear it a fair number of times before having to worry bout washing them.

Folk should wear what coloursthey want [i]but[/i] remember the lyrics of the Divine Comedy song -

But it's hard to get by when your arse is the size
Of a small country
And everybody sings "ba ba ba da..."

what's the name of that scandinavian sounding company that does full kit in acid colours?

I like my blue shorts..

Anyone seen any purple ones? Purple and yellow would be even better...

Black Lycra bibs. Job done.

I have these, love them!

Tennis yellow is well in this year. Get in there quick, you'll look a **** next year.

I really fancy some Olive Green Royal Signature shorts, but I'm always put off by the pricing of 'fashionable' mountain bike clothing.

Haglofs?

yep! http://www.haglofs.com/da-DK/intense-landing-page/

Goodness me, those Haglofs ones are eye wateringly expensive, i've had one of their spritz jackets and the tapes are peeling off the seams, how do the Royals compare on price ?

£71 on CRC. I still can't bring myself to spend more than about £40

there's a threshold you cross where you start to look like a twunk. 😉

I'm guessing this is so you can match your bike? 😀

Those TLD ones I was sporting in Spain were great. The mud never comes out though. You'd better enjoy the first time you wear them because they'll never be that clean again.

Had a stack on a muddy day the day after Spain here, and it now looks like I have pooped myself when I wear them! Don't do it man. Unless you can get them real cheap.

By the way, trying to convince the missus to do the GWR sportive. Maybe I will see you guys for that ride soon!

It's good to see a bit of colour, rather than the usual grey/black enduro sheep..

Thought you did that on the Elephants Tail?

I don't bother with bike specific baggies. They're too expensive. Just bib shorts under whatever other shorts I have. Surfing board shorts are very similar and much cheaper and a far greater range of colours and designs, or even swim shorts.

Ha! Did not! But I have purchased a brown pair of Sombrios for the return trip next year! Plan is to actually let go of the brakes this time.

Army surplus for me, with lycra shorts underneath. I like the Afghan/Iraq desert camo at the moment....

I'm guessing this is so you can match your bike?

Ha! I managed to matching green stans stickers for my wheels. They look so much better than the clashing red ones. What a tart!

Those blue shorts will clash wonderfully with the lumo green frame. Yeah baby! Don't think I can pull off the yellow or green though they suited you Dana.

BTW: would you email me Dana? My email address is in my profile.

I have some of those horrible turquoise Scott shorts (and matching gloves) that were on a cheapo PSA on here a bit ago - quite like them though they do look daft.

Considered getting one of these helmets too.

Pretty cheap here - http://www.fatbirds.co.uk/459667/products/giro-feature-highlight-yellow---bright-green-mtb-helmet.aspx

They were cheap, ok?

Thanks for the link Grum (although I went for matt titanium)

No worries - yeah the wife says I have to go for the titanium one too. 🙂

You've got mail!
