On the bright side, maybe it's a good thing that the S-Pro shorts ended up being duds for me...I'd hate to have had them be 100% perfect and then not be able to get them in the future.

perhaps you could take your shorts to a seamstress or alterations shop and have them replace the stitching. would be a shame to waste a good pair of shorts. hey but I'm headed over to TJ Maxx myself in a little while. who would have thought they sold cycling gear.

I've only seen a few pieces of cycling gear at the TJ Maxx by me. And none of it was stuff I would buy.

I'm going to the LBS today, and they carry Shebeest so I'll ask them what they know. Maybe it's just a question of finding a new US distributor.
Update: the LBS manager confirms that the distributor is no more, and he has not heard about any company to replace them.Last edited by ny biker; 10-01-2011 at 01:49 PM.

Man, I hate to hear this. I have 3 pair of SheBeest shorts and they are my favorites. I'm with you on PI.........DH loves them but they have never fit me right and the chamois feels like a (full) diaper.

Amazon still has a lot of Shebeest stuff, no special deals though.

Team Estrogen purchased a very large quantity of Shebeest apparel in the not-too-distant past. Of the styles we purchased, we did "take all" buys, meaning that we took the entire remaining inventory in those styles.
We have quite a lot of Shebeest inventory in stock, but when it's gone, it will not be replenished. If you'd like to see what we have, you can find it here:
http://www.teamestrogen.com/shebeest...0-b100004.html
We have FULL SIZE RUNS in Century Elite shorts, Nirvana shorts, Tri shorts. We have everything but small in S-Pro. We also have FULL SIZE RUNS in regular and plus size Pedal Pushers, as well as padded Tech Tights.
Of course, we have lots of other Shebeest as well, including some jerseys, cycloskorts and accessories.
Hope this helps.
