Yes!!! I bought the SSS shorts because they looked similiar to the Bellas. I got a super saddle sore in a very, ahem, delicate area from the chafing on a short, 16 mile ride. I was in pain for a week. However, after 2-3 washings they are fine; I wore them on a 30 mile ride with no issues.
I am also dismayed to find that Terry has changed the chamois on the Bellas to make them a bit thicker also in the front area. I wish I could buy the 2006 models. You might find them "slipperyer" than the SSS. I love very high lycra content shorts, so they are perfect for me.
