Thanks, all. So: durability -- no fraying or holes; stretch -- comfort without bagginess; and quick to dry.
I won't add comfort, because my baggy cutoffs are comfortable enough that I don't think about comfort when riding, and again, this up to 30 miles. (I have 3 pr of woolen bike shorts in the hypothetical case of longer rides.) Nor will I add looks since my old cutoff Gaps and so forth look good. Hell, even durability: I've got a pair of Gaps that I wore for 10 years as long pants and that are in year 2 as shorts. Color would be a plus, since the khaki does get dirty easily. I will keep an eye out for these, for a sale. As it is, for $75 I can buy 5 pr of GW khakis and pay $10/pair to have them shortened. It would be nice to have a pair of trim shorts that fit well on a bike -- most bike shorts (non-stretchy) that I've worn are too low in waist and too tight in crotch -- Patagonia one, for example, MUSA (old style) for another. Frankly, I'm tempted to buy some simply because they look better with jerseys -- more like "traditional" bike shorts -- than my khakis. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
