Do you find this slimming?

Comment from female coworker "She's pretty thin!"

What're you guys snortin' at work? I'm definitely on the saddle-baggy sturdy side. Just have skinny calves (I want yellow's calves).

mtbdarby - I think TE has the Castelli shorts in red. I want them but V says red shorts really make you look fat. Based on the wide variety of opinions from this group, I might have to try them on anyway. Of course, then I'd have to ask hubby those dreaded seven words . . .

I have learned to ask "Do you think these are flattering?" That allows him to answer based on the pant style rather than my weight and doesn't provoke a sigh of exasperation.

I thought it was white shorts I said that about. Buy the red Castellis.

Thom says you do not have a big butt. And that you should care more about what Bubba says then anyone else, 'cause he has to look at you.

This is the photo that went with a Cycling News article about the Italians not always having the best fashion sense. Gee, I wonder why they think white shorts aren't chic?

You two, Kim and I were standing in the California Peddler when you said this. You and I were trying to talk Kim of the small butt into trying the red Castellis.

Tell Thom thanks.

I know someone whose team shorts say "What's not to Like?" across the back.

Well he looks better than the girl in back with her pants falling off....
At least least he's got something to hang his pants on!

SK, the TE castillis are black with red on the bottom. I mean the all red shorts (unless I just overlooked them then my bad).

BK - there's a bike in that picture?? BWAHAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Ahhh... that's right. I've changed my mind about red.
