Tartan cycling shorts (well, almost....)
At a recent visit to Dumfries (and to Pour1Malt's establishment in Dumfries), I lamented the lack of tartan cycling shorts available (obviously a kilt isn't practicable on a mountain bike or if you want to go road racing).
To my gratification, I found the shorts I was looking for at home when I got back from my holiday - they were hidden in the cupboard. Not the full tartan, and not much imagination shown as to the actual tartan pattern, but at least it's something....
The first pic shows the new carbon fibre frame road bike. The second pic shows the shorts themselves.

It's certainly a 20 speed machine (10 on the back sprocket, 2 on the front). The only problem I have right now is the LOOK pedals are giving me grief - at the loosest setting they are INCREDIBLY tight!! I am going to get SPD pedals put on instead.

Thats a typical look problem when new. They loosen up a bit.Unless you are good at track standing they can be a pain at traffic lights.Spds are good but they are like cycling on walnuts.Having said that I wouldn't mind a set of Frogs. or eggbeaters.

Should we give a call to Sugoi or Primal Wear? They do custom printing on jerseys and shorts.
On another note, I like Time Pedals.
