Thanks everyone for your helpful info. I ordered myself a pair of Assos shorts this morning and Im also going to order a pair of the Ground Effects that Jo mentioned. I hope I like the Ground Effects pair it will make shopping for shorts a whole lot easier when I get back to Aust (hee hee shipping will be cheaper too).

Oh dear!!! See what you have done with all these great reports I started off needing one pair of shorts and ended up ordering two.
