Sausage legs!!!

I don't find the RS chamois bulky, but my latest versions do feel thicker/wider, as I said. It may be in my head. I can't take bulky chamois, but I don't like really thin, tri-like chamois, either.
Artista, what bothers you about the contrast stitching? I don't even notice it. Personally, I think the Bellas make my legs so much nicer, that no one else would notice anything, either.

Thanks for the Sugoi info, Indy. Based on all of the input on these shorts, I think that I'll stick with Terry's for another season.

Crankin, I'm just being picky about the contrast stitching. I love the look of sleek black bike shorts under bright jerseys. I think that the contrast stitching competes with the jersey and frames the rear end with the arced stitching over the rear hips.

I wrote Terry asking if they were planning on an all black version of the Bellas. It turns out that Bellas with "dark stitching" are being discussed for 2014. I'm guessing that there won't be any changes for this year. The heads-up is enough for me to stick with my current shorts this year and wait to see what Terry offers next year.
