FS: bike shorts

Okay, I went through my shorts to get an idea of what I wear, what I've been pushing to the back of the drawer.... :rolleyes:

I have 5 pairs of medium bike shorts, all like new or new condition to sell. I have a ton of overtime this week but I will try to keep updating and adding pics and descriptions as I can. As always, these are sold AS IS. The prices you see include shipping in the USA. First come first served. I will give the best description I can and if you have questions before buying, that is the time to ask. :)

First up...

One pair of Descente shorts, thicker padding but not a total diaper feel. They slim down between the legs and have a side "wing" that is thinner and doesn't rub when your are riding. The widest measurement of padding across the butt is 7", the total length of the padding front to back is about 11". No pulls, the seams are perfect, worn once or twice. I realized that I like the thinner padding more, like in a tri short. $45 and that includes the shipping to the US, priority mail. I flipped the one leg edge up so you can see how it's made.

PM me to buy them. 1st one gets them.

I will add the others as I can. Like I said, I'm on a lot of OT this week. coming up will be a pair of Zoot, 2 pairs of PI, and one pair of TYR. thanks. :D

what size ;)

Ha! she forgot to post the size. :D They're Mediums.

Wives know these things. :p

:D :cool: :D

Well, I posted that first post from work with my netbook, waiting to start my shift. Then I went to post another during my lunch break and I had a dead battery. It didn't go into hibernate, I guess. :rolleyes:

So, I guess now that I'm home on the desktop, I'll try to post some more before bedtime. :o

Oh and just to clear it up, these come from a smoke free home. :) But, I'm really noticing how dirty my cell phone lens must be, though. :rolleyes: To add, the Descente pair above have an 8" inseam. In case you wanted to know. If someone outside of the US wants any of these, I will have to check on the extra shipping cost and let you know. I will pay the first $5 of the shipping, you would cover the rest.

Next up, a pair of TYR shorts. Size medium, 8 1/2" inseam. I measured the inseam from the center of the shorts, not from the edge of the chamois. So for most of us, that goes down to just above your knee. The widest spot across the padding is 4 1/2", with it being 8 1/2" long front to back. These have a silkier feel on the inside of the "chamois" compared to other kinds. They are not super thin like tri shorts, nor are they super thick like most other shorts. They really are a nice hybrid to be used either way. They are comfy with a good cushion that when walking around doesn't feel like a diaper at all. They have a draw string top with elastic band. $35 including shipping in US, priority mail. :)

Next up is a pair of brand new, still with the tags on, medium Zoot shorts. These are definitely tri shorts. Shorter up the leg with a 5" inseam measured from the center. These would come down to just short of 1/2 of my thigh. Minimum thickness on the padding so they dry quicker between the transitions. Padding is 6" across at the widest, 11" long, front to back. These are really cute and I got them as a gift. I just like a little longer leg on mine. I have a scar that they would rub at the leg edge. You can see these would dry quickly and at the same time, the very center is made of something akin to a very short sheepskin. It's really soft. $40, priority shipping to the US included in that price. :)

Next up are 2 pairs of medium PI shorts. I cut the tag out of the one, probably because it was bugging me. But, I believe that one is a Sugar and the other one is similar but slightly better chamois design. So, the specs... Both have 8 1/2" wide chamois at butt, 12 1/2" long, front to back. 8" inseam from center. Slightly different chamois, but both are quite substantially padded. If you like more padding, these are the ones for you. $25 for either pair, priority shipping to the US included, just be specific on which color chamois you want so I know which ones to send. On the blue chamois, I just couldn't get it to lay flat enough for a decent pic so I took it in two shots. I hope it makes sense when you see it. The only real difference on the outside look between them is, one has some gray stitching and one is all black. The gray stitching is on the one with the gray chamois.

Like I said, they don't look worn at all, no rubbing as far as I can tell. All are in fantastic shape. I just have enough others and realized I wasn't wearing these since I went to a specific style and length of tri short.

The first to PM gets them. I can take paypal. No checks or cash through the mail, please. A cleared paypal payment gets them sent the next day. Thanks! :D:D

I'm curious if the PI w/blue chamois is a men's version only because of the way the chamois has a channel in the front. I have many PI women's shorts and none of the women's styles have that channel on the front part of the chamois...they all look similar to the pair with the gray chamois. Also...is there a drawstring on the blue chamois pair?

Linda

Nope, these are not a men's style as far as I recall. I've never bought men's shorts. No drawstring. :)

I've decided to put these on craigslist too, probably tonight or tomorrow. (as long as my netbook doesn't die again) This is a massive biking town and tons of people could use them. I just want them gone out of my drawer. I'm giving you ladies 1st shot and then they are gone. If they get taken locally, I just figure I save all of the shipping costs.

Thanks for the interest so far. Any questions are welcome. :D

Off to work... :(

The blue chamois PI shorts are gone. They will hit the USPS tomorrow on my way to work. :) Yes, more OT. I'm starting to drag a bit, here. :(

The TYR ones are almost gone, waiting on final word. I've put them on CL, so if you want any, now is the time. I plan on being able to ship them out tomorrow and Fri or just sell them local. They will be gone this weekend either way because bike stuff never lasts on our CL.

Thanks for the responses and questions in my email and PM box. It helps me know that you need a response. I can't access this site from work. (and I've been living there quit a bit, lately)

I'm contemplating selling a few jerseys as well. Those I'm more attached to since they have a "personality". I will make a decision this weekend. Once again, the TE sisters get first crack.

Happy riding. :D

update!! Both PI pairs are gone and so is the Descente. If that certain someone still wants the Zoot and TYR, please let me know. If not, I'll sell them to the person from CL who wants them. Let me know by the end of the day. I'd rather they go to a TE lady, but either way they are gone this weekend. They are still totally up for grabs to others on here as well. Who ever gets back to me 1st, gets them. I just want them to go to a good home and be used they way they are supposed to be, not sit in a drawer. Bike shorts is a terrible thing to waste. :D

thanks for looking!! Happy riding! :D
