Bike Trousers

    Been looking for a pair of leather trousers, pref padded for riding.

    However having a 29" inside leg seems to make it well nigh impossible to find. Seems most places only stock trousers for taller people :(

    Anyone have any recommendations for a place that stocks trousers for the shorter rider ?

    are u a boy or a girl - i'm ickle but the girl ones I have fit me ok and the textile ones usually have adjusters and you can roll them up a bit....not sure if girl ones would work out if you were a guy though cos of the cut ;)

    Oh and I got mine in Megabikes I was out in BikeWorld a few weeks ago and they have a huge range - a bit pricey but it's worth it if they stop you getting smashed up IMO

    I'm about a leg 30", got a nice pair of Dainesse synthetic trousers for about €350 from Bikeworld.

    Slipped on ice once and it was like falling on a duvex.:)

    I wouldn't worry too much about them being overly long. Your seated position means that any trousers will gather up slightly while you're riding. My rain bottoms are about an inch too long for me when walking, but when I'm sitting on the bike, they're about 1/2 an inch too short.

    I've bought a few pairs via eBAY in the past. and I'd not worry about them being too long, they tend to sag when not in riding position anyway.

    What waist are you ?, i've a set of Lookwell 36W-30(ish) long for sale at the mo !.
