Hey guys,
Is shopping for shorts really a shot in the dark? I mean I went to the store and tried on the Specialized BG Pro that Bluetree said she liked. They fit.. but other than that is there any way to tell how they will be down the road?
Just spend the $$ and hope?
V, thanks for the report on the airstreams...
Hmm.. maybe Ultra D's or Specialized...?
MP.. you like the Elite's better than the Ultra D's? Why? I think I saw some in Chain Reaction in Los Altos last night. NOt sure tho...

rogue I think the elite chamois was a teeny bit smaller.

If you can squeeze in there, if it fits nice and tight, if the chammy is not looking like it's going to shift around, if it hugs your curves and flats, you can be pretty sure the shorts will be good for rides up to 2 hours or so. Beyond that point, it's hard to guess.

So it's not a total shot in the dark, but there is some getting-to-know-thy-bum involved.
