    I pay $100+ for my shorts. I haven't found any cheaper ones that make me happy on my rides.

    Maybe you could PM SusanO and ask her if these will go on sale soon? http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=32816

    Or offer to write a review of them for a little discount?

    Thanks Knotted, I think I will do that.

    It's not that I mind spending money on a good pair of shorts, it's just that if I don't know for sure I will like them, then I have a hard time spending that much. Of couse that spending thing caused me to buy a couple of pair that I never wear unless I have to, so I have two pair that I don't care for and am always washing out my shebeest. LOL

    I bought a pair of the Shebeest SSS shorts in XXL last spring.

    The were on the clearance rack, so I'm pretty sure they're the 2006 model.

    Turned out they were a bit too big, so they've only been worn once. Now they're a LOT too big.

    Want 'em? They're looking for a good home!

    I was at REI last weekend and all the shorts on clearance were the X sizes!

    SOOO frustrated

    Ahhh I hear the pain! Try checking into Terry shorts... they have several models in XXL and seem to range in price from $50-$85.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks for all the help girls and I will know next time I buy a pair that I really like to go back and buy a second.

    Like I said I don't mind paying a bit for them if I know that I will like them. I hate sending things back, and I'm like you Lisa, I don't have a big store around here close to shop at and try things on.
    Our local bike shop has shorts but they never carryt he xxl size. I have fussed him about it, but the owner wont' stock things he can't sell. Guess I can't blame him for that. Shoot, he won't even mark down his old stuff, he puts it away and then puts it back out depending on the season. We were in there the other day and I asked the guy that always works that one when they were going to mark the stuff for winter down and he said the owner won't, he'll just put it away and drag it back out next year.
    Doesn't make sense to me, but whatever floats his boat. LOL
