I agree. The logo isn't very big, regardless. I wish they made them with a magenta stripe.

Or maybe wider? :)
If it's any comfort- I have "plenty" of hips and bottom, and yet when I tried some expensive PI shorts on in an LBS a while back, all 3 styles had the odd chamois "horizontal fin" sticking out bizarrely in the back! Other than that, the shorts were very snug- strange! Definitely not a problem of my lacking natural "fill" though! :o
Man, what's next size smaller than a "0"??? Do they run into the negatives?? Wouldn't you get sucked into a time/space black hole when you put size 0 jeans on, and just disappear?
(just teasing) I can't imagine wearing size 0 jeans!
Those Extes look so cool- I'm sorry you have to send yours back! :(
Actually, it means having a personal relationship with my tailor. But it's hard to have tailoring done to athletic clothes because of the stretch factor.
It's all relative, though. I still look in the mirror and wish I could drop an inch here or there. True body acceptance is easier said than done! :o
We met with the EO folks at Interbike on Friday. A sizing chart is pending, but in the meantime, please use the Castelli chart. We'll get EO's up as soon as they nail it down for us. (Incidentally, I checked Terry's website and they don't have a EO size chart up either. Sigh. I would have copied it. :) )
The Goiz and Oyama are FLYING out of here. Wow! Selling so well that we just bought out all of EO's remaining Black/Orange Goiz tops and a bunch of the knickers. Also decided to bring in the Pistachio color. Should have it in a week.
I would LOVE to hear your feedback on the Etxe Ondo items as this is a new brand for us. Your feedback really helps us make better buying decisions. My impression so far is that the quality on these pieces is absolutely top notch. Bluetree - I don't believe these pieces come in XS (that size isn't on the order form for US orders) but I'll inquire on your behalf. :)
Thanks,
Susan
Susan -- I vote for you to continue carrying the brand. I hope to buy one of the tops and plan on putting more EO stuff on my Christmas list. I don't paying for quality, as I figure I'll get multiple seasons of wear of them and I ride every day (weather permitting). The fit, styling, fabric, and quality are just excellent.
Susan:
Is there any chance that in the near future, Team Estrogen might carry other Etxe Ondo Items such as the Sann Bib Shorts or the Bera Knickers? I've been hunting around for these items for quite some time now...
Also, I noticed that on the Etxe Ondo website (http://www.etxeondousa.com), Team Estrogen is listed as a dealer in Oregon but not as an online dealer. Might be good if they fixed that. :)
Saludos,

We have Sann coming for Spring 2007. Black/Blue and Black/Red. Also the Bera in Black/Blue.Quote:

Thanks for the heads up on the dealer locator. We'll ask them to make the change. :)

EXCELLENT NEWS and now I have even more reason to look forward to the spring! I bet if you stocked the Bera in the white, too, you'd sell out. This takes a little of the sting out of seeing that you're sold out of the knickers and the tights in my size!
Did a 57 mile, mostly flat ride yesterday in my new knickers. Very comfy. It was in the 70s and surprisely I did not overheat in them either, which makes them a good choice for those rides that start at 4 AM. :p
Would love it if TE could carry their entire line of bottoms. (I've got more jerseys than I can shake a stick at.)

And, might I add, they looked very nice indeed !
I might have pistachio ones in my very near future ...
Easy to justify a 2nd pair of the knickers -- the care instructions say hang to dry, so chances are good the chamois will still be wet the next day. A 2nd pair solves that problem!
