Tall riders - Which Shorts?
Moderator: Moderator Team
Hi all,
Ive done a bit of searching, but to no luck
For you tall rides, can you recommend any longer shorts that come reasonably close to the knee? Im 6'4 and am yet to find a reasonably priced short that arent like hot pants on me! I know Rapha do a 'longer leg' short but they arent quite within my price range
Any ideas would be most welcome
Cheers

Long leg Assos.
i always found the Pearl Izume P.R.O. lineup to be relatively long. I'm 6'4, and never had an issue with my legs rubbing to top-tube of my bike, like I do with my current batch of Castelli's.

The top of the line Pearl shorts are a little longer as well as some of the cappo aren't too bad either.
Best of luck.

The Rapha code works for everything, not just Sky kit! SALUTE15.
I have just got a new kit from ragpicker.cc, a new London company. The bibs are nice and long and only £85, matching jersey is £60, very high quality. I will have to get the sleeves altered as they are a bit flappy on my chicken arms, not a big issue to me though.
