Just thought a few folks might be interested in these cycling trousers
I bought a pair earlier this week (£18 in sale) and can highly recommend them at that price.(used to be £45) |

These were the second best things I bought this weekend on Sooper8's recommendation, the first being the mint 24" Grand Sport he kindly offered for sale.
These are a good pair of trousers, light enough for casual cycling and leisure, but smart enough to wear to an office if required. The sizing is pretty much spot on. I usually waver between sizes marked as 34" & 36" waist, and look for about a 32" inside leg. The 34"waist/31"leg ones I ordered fit my waist/hips quite closely, but the elastic waist and slightly stretchy cotton fabric made them comfortable for wearing all day, including a 3 mile bike ride and a visit to Sprockit to pick up the Grand Sport. The leg length is perfect for me.
Cycling-friendly features include: shower-resistant fabric coating; 2 zipped rear pockets with flip-out reflective patches; a hanging loop and (quite tight) zipped pocket on the right hip; rubberised shirt-retaining strip inside the waistband; a small pad inside the crotch to cover the seams' joint: and the reflective-piped turn-ups and poppers at the hems as illustrated in the ad. At £17.50 for navy and £16.00 for grey, they are less than a quarter of the price that cycle shops are asking for cycle-branded similar items.

That's a good review for these trousers! Glad you are happy with them. You can't beat them at that price can you?
