Bored of black shorts

[Fujichants]

I have these ones:

And I love them! Yeah they aren't as slimming as some, but they feel uber kyoot and the booty is mostly black. The fit is great, and the fabric is unique, stretchy and fitting, but not quite so uh, spandexy.

Are they really as high rise as in the picture? I was looking at these as well and the super high back kind of put me off.

What about some fun day-glo colored ones?

Okay, just for you I took my comfy PJ pants off and did a little grunt and wiggle dance to get into them. Oh Office A**, how you mock me! And yes, they do come up a fair way in the back. I kinda like it though because I have chronic jersey too shortness. I never thought myself to have a long torso, but when I tried on Speedo racing suits I had to get the long one.

Dunno, even on my presently fat tookus I really like how the back looked. Now if I could just finish the bike and get out there on it!

Thank you smurf!

Black shiny spandex really almost burns my skin when the sun is beating down on me. But I do not have the guts to wear white and the thought of wearing a skort creeps me out - too much like a skirt

mt - where did you find red and silver knickers?

I just ordered a pair of grey ones the other day. They didn't arrive yet but I'll let you know how they work out. I wanted to mix it up and have a change from the black too.

I have gray shorts. I put them on. I look in the mirror. I take them off and put the black ones on. Then I go for a ride. I have done this 2-3 times now.

I think they'll be my night riding shorts!

Anyone that can look darling in a polka dot bikini can wear gray shorts.

I have some blue tri shorts that I like. Yeah...I do believe they aren't as slimming as black but then again I got bored also. The ones I have are Desoto Rapida shorts but they seem to be on close-out.

I'd look for darker colors because white/light colors would be frightening, at least on me. Imagine the sweat! And rain!

I can attest to the tri chamois, esp for shorter distances. If your saddle works, you won't need thick chamois.

Dunno. I'm as vain as almost the next person but thing are what they are, optical illusions be whatever. You know?

'cept white...um...it's not the largeness that scares me but the capacity for "see-thru"? I just...can't go there right now.

Wonder if these come with a chamois? http://www.catwalkqueen.tv/goldlame.jpg

Thank you smurf!

No problem! I will do my grunt and wiggle dance for you any time! The super tight black Sportful Anaconda jersey I got to go with it, well, kinda snug now. Oh well, I see my chubby little thighs wrapped in not so flattering white as motivation, rather than embarrassment. If I think about quitting I just have to look at my chubby white sausage casings and keep rolling!

Trashy Cat used to have great patterned and multi-colored shorts. Now it looks like all they have are black or blue. However, it looks like some of the old stuff is still available in their "back alley" sale area.

Castelli has some black and white shorts. They look really cool...on the hanger. I'm afraid to try them on!
